landfill design

Landfill design involves creating a structured area for waste disposal that minimizes environmental impact. It includes layers to contain waste, such as a bottom liner made of impermeable material to prevent leaks, and a cover to reduce odors and litter. Systems for leachate collection manage any liquid that seeps through waste, while methane collection captures gases produced during decomposition. Proper drainage and monitoring are installed to protect groundwater and the surrounding ecosystem. Overall, well-designed landfills aim to safely manage waste while safeguarding public health and the environment.
