Landfill CQA Basics – The Darcy Equation and Permissible Permeability

The rate of flow (flux – Q) per unit area of liquid through a liner is a function of the hydraulic conductivity (k) and the hydraulic head (i), and can be approximated by applying the following equation, attributed to Darcy: Q=ki (1) In the case of vertical flow under gravity, the hydraulic head (i) is [...]

The Modern Landfill Design Concepts in the UK and Europe which Landfill CQA Engineers Must Implement

We explain why the landfill CQA engineers involved in CQC and CQA hold a such a vital role as the final link in ensuring that the landfill design is constructed to the specified requirements. CQ Engineers never forget! Future generations depend on you!

How to Do Landfill CQA Up to the Start of the Construction Works

Landfill CQA Actions up to the Start of Construction 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 contractor will then be required to follow, and which will once completed be reported [...]
