In order to avoid chemical reactions within the landfill body and to assure structural stability, several criteria are set for the waste quality and disposal.
Surface cappings and basal liners of landfills have to meet defined technical requirements. The installed quality is monitored by an independent third party.
Plant growth on the landfill surface requires nutrients and organic matter in the top soil. Topsoils can be emulated by adding compost to non-humic subsoils.
A closed landfill with low risk potential in a rural environment was remediated by profiling the landfill body and covering the landfill with a soil layer.
A compaction and reloading station for waste, using the infrastructure of a former landfill, helps to reduce waste volume and optimizes transport logistics.
