Gilbert Development is the general contractor of the hyperbaric dewatering system being installed at the CML Metals Mill, located at the Comstock Mine site. This is a 15 million dollar project which will allow CML Metals to lower their final product moisture content by up to 6%. This project will also make it possible to discontinue use of the diesel ran dryers which in turn will be a large financial advantage. During this project Gilbert Development has been the acting general contractor, which in turn has lead to us doing the full fabrication of the hyperbaric structure followed by the full erection of the structure.
