City of Bentonville Compost Facility Improvements Introduces First-Ever In-Vessel Composting Technology<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the realm of waste management, innovation is not just a luxury but a necessity. In this spirit, the City of Bentonville has recently achieved a significant milestone with the completion of the groundbreaking Compost Facility Improvements project. This initiative is not only a first for the city but also an innovative endeavor on a municipal scale. This project marks the first-ever use of in-vessel composting technology to handle biosolid waste from its water resource recovery facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Addressing Resident\u2019s Concerns with Odor Control<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n

At the heart of this project lies a core objective: to address the concerns of nearby residents by significantly reducing odor emissions. Traditional composting methods often pose challenges in odor control, impacting the quality of life for surrounding communities. However, with the adoption of in-vessel composting, the city aims to mitigate these issues while setting new standards for sustainable waste management practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project’s scope encompasses various facets, including installing in-vessel composting equipment, constructing metal canopies for equipment and storage, and crucial modifications to the SCARAB building to optimize green waste management. Additionally, the city was able to leverage the project\u2019s contingency money to incorporate additional enhancements, such as lighting and exhaust fans, further augmenting the compost facility’s functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustainable Solutions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Of course, no ambitious project is without its challenges. The Crossland Heavy<\/a> team encountered unstable soil conditions at the site, presenting a significant obstacle to the project’s progress. However, through collaborative efforts with geotechnical experts and engineers, innovative solutions were devised by creating a bridge lift to mitigate these challenges while keeping the project within the budget and timeline constraints. Crossland Heavy<\/a> and the City worked together to overcome obstacles and come up with sustainable solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improving Quality of Life<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n

The benefits of the Compost Facility Improvements project extend far beyond the facility’s confines. By curbing odorous emissions and streamlining compost operations, the project positively impacts the entire community, contributing to a cleaner, healthier environment for all residents. Moreover, the project’s completion on schedule demonstrates the city’s dedication to efficient project management and timely delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Partnerships in Progress<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In achieving this milestone, the city relied not on the collaboration of Crossland self-performance crews and local subcontractors who brought invaluable skills and knowledge to various aspects of the project. Crossland self-performed some of the metal, process pipe, and equipment and performed the demolition and earthwork. Electrical, concrete, steel erection, rebar installation, and painting were all subcontracted. These partnerships were instrumental in realizing the project’s vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Commitment to a Cleaner Future<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n
