Scientific Landfills
Scientific Landfills Engineering
Waste management is a matter of priority and prime concern to the government and administrative bodies. Secure Landfills are considered to be the best available technical option for the safe disposal of enormous quantities of solid wastes including municipal, industrial and hazardous chemical wastes generated by modern urban industrialised societies.
Scientific Landfill Consists of
A basal lining system to prevent soil and ground water contamination by pollutants from the wastes.
A capping system to seal the waste when the capacity of the landfill is exhausted.
The Basal Lining System Consists of
An impervious sealing layer, which prevents the entry of pollutants into the ground.
A leachate collection system for the collection and transmission of leachates to a collection pit to ensure low hydraulic heads above the sealing layer.
In some cases a double liner is used for the purpose of secondary leachate collection / leak detection system.
