Biosolids Composting Facility Expansion
Summer 2018 will see the start of construction for an expansion to the Comox Valley Regional District (CVRD)’s biosolids composting facility.
The current facility, opened in 2003, uses aerated bunker technology to cure solids removed from the wastewater system and mixed with wood chips to create the soil amendment SkyRocket.
This expansion will increase the facility’s capacity by 35 per cent to accomodate growth in the region over the next 15 years.

In August 2018, Knappet Industries was awarded the contract for the compost facility expansion (valued at $5.18 million) and building relocation (valued at $965,000).
The project is expected to be complete by Spring 2019.
