Landfill remediation by excavation – Case Treuenbrietzen
Summary: A closed landfill, Treuenbrietzen was remediated by excavation of the landfill body and transfer of the waste to other landfills.
Location: Brandenburg, Germany (Deutschland)
Remediation of a landfill with low risk potential in a rural...
Summary: 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.
Location: Brandenburg, Germany (Deutschland)
Maximizing landfill capacity by vertical expansion
Summary: The project involves the use of compacted waste, using engineered reinforcement to create retaining structures for waste with a 70° slope angle.
Location: Puglia, Italy (Italia)
Remediation of a large-scale landfill by installing a surface...
Summary: The landfill was remediated by capping the landfill body with a surface sealing system and a landfill gas capturing facility.
Location: Brandenburg, Germany (Deutschland)
Remediation of a landfill by a surface sealing system with an...
Summary: A Surface sealing system - a geomembrane and combined a leak control system detects damaged spots in the geomembrane and reduces the risk of hazards.
Location: Brandenburg, Germany (Deutschland)
Using a landfill area after closure of a landfill for a Waste...
Summary: A compaction and reloading station for waste, using the infrastructure of a former landfill, helps to reduce waste volume and optimizes transport logistics.
Location: Brandenburg, Germany (Deutschland)
Possibilities of using a closed landfill area for production of...
Summary: A landfill is an ideal site for a photovoltaic plant. However, the special technical conditions linked with the sealing system have to be considered.
Location: Brandenburg, Germany (Deutschland)
Use of slag for the construction of the drainage layer at the...
Summary: The construction of the drainage layer with slags substitutes the use of natural resources, such as gravel. The ecological footprint of the landfill is reduced.
Location: Brandenburg, Germany (Deutschland)
Extended landfill gas treatment by CHP with reservoir – case...
Summary: The practice extends the applicability of the CHP-system to process landfill gas, avoiding greenhouse gas emissions while gaining energy and generating income.
Location: Brandenburg, Germany (Deutschland)
Remediation of two landfill sites by landfill excavation at the...
Summary: Two former landfill sites, containing 461.000 m3 of waste, where completely excavated in order to develop the Vathorst area in Amersfoort.
Location: Utrecht, Netherlands (Nederland)
