COMANCO’s Advancing on New Landfill Cell with Strategic Grading and Dewatering
COMANCO is making substantial progress on a key landfill development project, which includes the construction of a new landfill cell and a Gas Collection and Control System (GCCS) on an existing landfill site in Lee County, FL. Moreover, our team already completed the precise grading of the cell area and now focuses on building the outer berms. In tandem, excavation and stockpiling of borrow pit material continues efficiently to support ongoing construction phases.
Effective Dewatering Solutions
A standout element of this project is the expertly engineered dewatering system. Notably, the crew implemented this system early in the process, ensuring that the cell remained dry throughout the grading operations. This highlights our team’s expertise in managing site conditions and maintaining momentum.
Gas Collection System Progress
As part of the gas collection system, our subcontractor has successfully completed the well drilling phase and is actively excavating and laying the header pipe. This step is crucial, as it supports the effective collection and control of landfill gas emissions, aligning with environmental best practices.
Materials and Installation Plan
In terms of materials, the project will soon see the installation of approximately 10 acres of AGRU 60mil Double-Sided Textured Liner and 8 acres of Geocomposite from Solmax. Although geosynthetics installation is still to come, the groundwork is being meticulously prepared to support a smooth and efficient rollout.
Mass Excavation and Material Stockpiling
To date, over 40,000 CY of material have been hauled from the borrow pit to the cell area for grading. Additionally, nearly 150,000 CY of cover material has been excavated and stockpiled for future use, helping ensure long-term operational efficiency and cost savings.
Overall, this project not only expands landfill capacity but also reflects COMANCO’s dedication to innovation and environmental responsibility.
