COMANCO Completes Gold Mine Pond Liner in Colorado
COMANCO recently completed a liner installation project at a gold mine in Colorado, marking another milestone in safe, efficient containment. Field Manager James Kile and Leadman Martin Calderon Jr. led this effort, which involved installing liner systems on a ditch and four ponds. Their leadership, combined with the dedication of the COMANCO crew, made it possible to deliver high-quality results while maintaining the highest safety standards.
As part of the scope of work, the crew installed over 60,000 SF of 40 SFL OrbWeave liner. The material was supplied by Great Lakes Lining and installed across the ditch and four ponds. The team completed the work with precision, ensuring the liner met all performance standards.
This gold mine project came with unique challenges, including working at an elevation of 10,000 feet, which required the crew to acclimate before starting work. In addition, the site required MSHA and IAGI certifications. Possessing both, the crew worked in full compliance, ensuring quality and reliability in every weld.
Despite the challenges, the crew completed the project with zero incidents. Throughout the project, safety remained the top priority, and the team’s discipline ensured a safe environment for everyone involved.
Most importantly, this liner installation will play a critical role in containing leachate coming down the stack. By directing the water to proper disposal facilities, the project helps protect the surrounding ground and environment from contamination. This ensures the gold mine operates responsibly while safeguarding natural resources.
