A blog about Landfill Construction Quality Assurance
The use of a Geosynthetic Clay Liner (GCL) as the low permeability layer in landfill lining systems and restoration caps can provide a cost effective and readily Construction Quality Controlled alternative to natural clay. In fact this material may be the only option in regions where the local geology is such that no clay of [...]
SITA Cornwall News (January 2008) – reports: Improvement in compliance… Landfill SITA Cornwall’s two landfill sites play an important role in managing the county’s waste. A great deal of work was carried out in 2007 at the landfills and even more is planned for 2008. It was a busy year in terms of engineering at [...]
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 [...]
The operator of a modern landfill site in responding to the requirements for minimising leachate generation is likely to fill the site rapidly within small constrained areas to reduce rainfall ingress. When the operational cell is complete to restoration levels it is likely to be capped to prevent further ingress of rain water. This means [...]
We will occasionally post capping design information on this blog. We hope that you will find these posts interesting. To guarantee a landfill cap which will drain adequately and for effective gas collection, the landfill cap should incorporate a drainage layer above and preferably also, a gas collection layer below the cap’s low permeability lining system. The [...]
