A blog about Landfill Construction Quality Assurance
The most critical components of a landfill closure cap are the barrier layer and the drainage layer. The barrier (sealing) layer can be low-permeability soil (clay) and/or made from geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs).
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 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!

Magpie Drilling has continued its expansion with a further MC3000 added to the drilling rig fleet. Following the increase in customer demand for deeper, larger diameter wells, with temporary and permanent steel casings, the need for increased power, higher torque, and superior depth capabilities are paramount.

This summer was the second summer season, and the 4th stage of restoration capping at this Wexford County Council landfill during which Rowe Environmental provided capping construction quality assurance services.
The start of the works in June 2007 coincided with the uniqely heavy rainfall exprienced throughout the region that month. Although clay capping proceeded in between rain [...]
