A blog about Landfill Construction Quality Assurance
Leachate drainage layers are necessary in most waste landfill sites to minimise the accumulation of leachate within the site and they reduce the risk of contamination of surrounding ground and groundwater. A cheaper and environmentally preferable option is be the use of scrap vehicle tyres, but is their use permissible and what happens to them [...]
In the design of municipal landfill leachate collection systems, some state regulatory agencies require carbonate content of leachate collection system aggregate not to exceed 15 percent by weight. This requirement comes from a legitimate concern about the possibility of aggregate degradation, or loss of mass due to contact with leachate. Most involved in landfill design [...]

Leading drilling specialist Magpie has announced the deepest boreholes/wells for leachate extraction drilled to date. SITA UK approached Magpie with a need for one of the most challenging landfill drilling projects undertaken to date. Enderby Warren a closed landfill site in Leicestershire has existing leachate extraction chambers 74m deep. SITA wanted to retro drill some chambers [...]
The widely used definition of geophysics is that provided by Sheriff in the Encyclopedia of Exploration Geophysics. For the purposes of this site, we refer more specifically to the following definitions – these focus on Environmental and Engineering Geophysics: Geophysics is: The subsurface site characterization of the geology, geological structure, groundwater, contamination, and human artifacts beneath [...]
