Dakota Landfill Cell 11 Construction – Advancing Waste Management Infrastructure
In Gwinner, ND, Comstock Construction successfully completed the Dakota Landfill Cell 11 project for Waste Management in 2022. This large-scale civil construction project involved the development of a new 13-acre landfill cell, marking the first cell constructed in the new expansion area at Dakota Landfill.
Project Scope – Earthwork & Site Development
The project required extensive earthmoving, grading, and site preparation to create a fully functional waste containment cell. Key aspects of the construction included:
- 500,000+ cubic yards of earth moved – Excavation and grading for proper cell formation and long-term stability.
- 17,000 cubic yards of aggregate placement – Creating a solid base to support landfill operations.
- Leachate collection system installation – Critical infrastructure to manage liquid waste and protect groundwater.
Precision Engineering & Environmental Considerations
As part of this landfill expansion, Comstock Construction worked closely with engineers and environmental specialists to ensure that the new cell met all regulatory standards for containment and environmental protection. The project required precise grading, compaction, and material placement to create a safe and efficient waste management solution.
Enhancing Regional Waste Management Capabilities
This project plays a vital role in expanding waste disposal capacity for Gwinner and surrounding communities. By constructing the first cell in the new development area, Comstock Construction helped lay the groundwork for future landfill expansions, ensuring sustainable and compliant waste management solutions for years to come.
Comstock Construction takes pride in our expertise in large-scale earthwork and landfill development, and we look forward to continuing to support critical infrastructure projects that benefit both the environment and the community.
