Heron Ponds: WORK SUMMARY
Recycled Materials Company, Inc. (RMCI) is the general contractor on the Heron Ponds project in north Denver; a project to connect the existing Globebille/Utah Junction stormwater outfall to the existing Heron Pond. Project scope includes the construction of a number of grouted boulder channel structures used for dissipating energy and cleaning existing stormwater flowing to the pond and to increase capacity of the existing Heron Pond to accommodate a 100-year storm event. The project involves remediation of soils contaminated with lead, cadmium and arsenic. RMCI utilized recycled ready mix from
ReCrete Materials, Inc. for the 7,000 square foot forebay and the grout for boulder drop structures and energy dissipaters. Staplestone (recycled runway aggregate from Denver’s former Stapleton International Airport) was utilized to create an elevated walkway surrounding the Pond.
