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 [...]
Dense Asphaltic Concrete has been as a Landfill Lining membrane material for many years and although it is not commonly seen in the UK, it is used much more often in Europe, and particularly in Germany.
The Dense Asphaltic Concrete is formulated in a manner which ensures both very low permeability and possibly as low as 1 x [...]
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 and [...]
