Our facility is a combination of a large warehouse for material storage and mixing and a series of 8 bunkers all equipped with GORE ® covers.
Each bunker floor has perforated panels from one end to another with a fan to regulate oxygen, moisture, and heat. Once material is stacked into a bunker it’s covered with a GORE® cover and put through 3 phases of curing. GORE® textile technology restricts moisture while allowing airflow and external oxygen through the material. They also help prevent odours.
ODOUR CONTROL: Given the nature of the material – this facility creates odours or VOC’s, volatile organic compounds. We use high pressure fans to push air through a perforated bunker – full of wet wood waste. This process is completed 8 times per hour to purify the air of VOC’s.
Take a look at our virtual tour below!
Phase 1
High Composting Phase
4-6 weeks, high composting phase where microbial decomposition is happening. This phase is covered by the GORE cover.
Phase 2
Curing Composting Phase
Curing composting phase – 14 days. Material is re-homogenized during the handling/turning process and then re-covered.
Phase 3
Final Cure
This process is another 14 days and will be covered depending on the current climate it’s in.
Phase 4
Screening & Sorting
We tromil the material. After one final screening and sorting process the material is ready to be used as a nutrient rich soil!
