The Juno Project is a commercial scale demonstration plant for a new recycling technology. Utilizing a proprietary process, Juno captures paper, fiber, nutrient rich water and metals from incoming municipal solid waste. These recovered commodities are then diverted to established recycling avenues for reuse. Since commissioning, the facility has processed more than 10,000 tons of waste, lessening the burden felt by nearby landfills.
Construction of the foundation and the steel superstructure required the installation of more than 1,000 aggregate piers for dewatering and stability. After the completion of the piers, 2,800 cu yd of concrete was placed. Surrounding areas were paved with fiber reinforced concrete to ensure resilience. Once the civil team completed the primary foundations, the structural team started erecting structural members.
