A blog about Landfill Construction Quality Assurance
Landfill engineers are increasingly preoccupied with building landfills which will capture as much landfill gas as possible and use that gas optimally to generate renewable energy. However, this very engineering holds dangers for the environment around a landfill, with raised leachate levels, and extra stress on landfill lining membranes.
Landfill Capping is the most widespread type of remediation since it is in general less pricey than other technologies and actually manages the human being and environmental risks allied with a remediation place. In this article we provide the basics of capping according to the US EPA.
Landfill reclamation is a technique which can be very beneficial and profitable to developers in certain cases. To reclaim the land of an old tip returns it to normal use and the land can then be used for housing and factories etc. Read more about Landfill Reclamation in this article now!

Once the landfill design engineer has completed the landfill design and the specification has been substantially completed, it is possible to write the landfill Construction Quality Assurance (CQA) Plan, which the construction [...]
Landfills nowadays each contain huge amounts of organic materials and hold a huge potential to pollute the local groundwater for generations in the containment systems upon which their design is based fail to function as intended.
The engineering of a landfill is no different to other engineered structures, in fact in many ways, especially due to [...]
