Landfill Engineering

The design of an engineered waste containment system is considered a continuous project, including all operational activity, closure and aftercare. The selection of an appropriate geosynthetic should be considered during the planning and design stage and account for changes that are likely to occur over the whole life of the landfill.

Landfill Engineering

There are a number of challenges that need to be considered by a landfill design engineer when proposing a geosynthetic solution within a landfill development. These include:

1. Establishing the required design life of the materials

2. Establishing the geotechnical design parameters such as vertical and lateral forces, the nature of point loads, shear stresses due to waste settlement and predicting temperatures, chemical and biological stresses

3. Forming an appropriate specification for the geosynthetics within the contract documents

4. Making decisions with regard to the type and frequency of the CQA.
