Phosphate Stack Closure in Mississippi Nears Completion
COMANCO continues making strong progress on a large-scale phosphate stack closure in Mississippi. This multi-year environmental project showcases COMANCO’s expertise in geosynthetic installation, containment systems, and long-term environmental protection. The phosphate stack closure in Mississippi includes advanced liner systems, ClosureTurf® installation, and Water Return Ditch construction designed to improve containment performance and site sustainability.
Water Return Ditches Support Environmental Protection
One of the final phases of the phosphate stack closure in Mississippi is the completion of the Water Return Ditches (WRD). These engineered systems are designed to capture and control runoff water from the phosphate stack, helping reduce environmental impact while improving long-term water management across the site.
Once fully operational, the WRD system will play a critical role in maintaining site stability and supporting ongoing environmental compliance requirements.
Large-Scale Geosynthetic Installation Efforts
COMANCO has installed more than 4 million square feet of geosynthetic materials throughout the project. These materials include high-performance geomembrane liner systems and ClosureTurf® reinforcement layers specifically selected to meet the demanding requirements of phosphate stack closure applications.
In addition to liner installation, crews have groomed more than 2 million square feet of sand ballast material to help stabilize the closure system and support long-term durability.
The project highlights COMANCO’s ability to execute large-scale environmental containment solutions while maintaining strict quality control standards throughout construction.
Mississippi Crew Maintains Strong Safety Performance
Despite difficult conditions including hurricanes, heavy rainfall, and extreme Mississippi heat, COMANCO’s field crews have continued progressing safely and efficiently. Superintendent Carlos Garcia has led the project team with a strong focus on safety, communication, and quality workmanship.
The crew’s dedication and professionalism have helped maintain excellent project momentum while meeting the expectations of repeat client KEMRON. Their ability to adapt to changing site conditions demonstrates COMANCO’s commitment to delivering reliable environmental construction services nationwide.
