COMANCO Successfully Transforms Gypsum Stack Closure with a Clean, Safe Finish
COMANCO has completed another successful gypsum stack closure project, showcasing our continued commitment to environmental protection, safety, and quality work. Overall, this project brought together expert material installation, a highly dedicated crew, and a shared mission to improve stormwater management.
Setting the Standard
Led by Superintendent Gerardo Ruiz, a small but highly effective crew executed the closure with impressive discipline and attention to detail. Throughout the project, weekly meetings with the client and third-party safety representatives consistently highlighted the crew’s safe work practices and exceptionally clean site conditions. The overwhelmingly positive feedback proved that size doesn’t dictate performance, but professionalism does.
Quality Materials for Environmental Responsibility
The scope of this project included importing 35,000 CY of fill. The crew also deployed 88,864 SF of 80mil textured liner to cap and secure the site properly. Additionally, the crew installed 2,850 SF of 10oz nonwoven geotextile and 7,200 SF of 12oz nonwoven geotextile, along with 850 tons of #57 stone, to support structural stability and drainage.
Finally, to finish the job, our team partnered with SeedWay to install sod over the area, bringing visual restoration and environmental stability to the closed gyp stack.
Lasting Impacts
One unique aspect of this closure was the decommissioning of an old pump station located on-site. As a result, this effort ensures that rainwater is now effectively diverted away from areas containing contaminated water. It prevents unnecessary processing and protects clean water from pollution.
By successfully closing this gypsum stack and redirecting stormwater runoff, the project enhanced site sustainability and reduced the long-term environmental burden. The completed project reflects COMANCO’s core values: safety, quality, and service, each one embodied by the outstanding work of our crew from start to finish.
