Landfill containment

Landfill containment involves designing a system to prevent harmful waste materials from leaking into the environment. This typically includes a series of engineered layers such as a durable bottom liner (often made of clay or synthetic materials), a system of collection pipes to gather any liquids that may escape, and a cover at the top to prevent water infiltration. These measures ensure that hazardous substances stay safely within the landfill, protecting soil, water, and air quality. Proper containment is essential for environmental safety and compliance with regulations.
