Mine Hyperbaric Dewatering System

Gilbert Development is the general contractor of the hyperbaric dewatering system being installed at the Mine Mill, located at the Comstock Mine site. This is a 15 million dollar project which allowed CML Metals to lower their final product moisture content by up to 6%. This project also made it possible to discontinue use of the diesel ran dryers which was 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.
