Project Overview
This landfill project required maintaining operations while executing large-scale waste relocation, cell construction, and closure activities. The scope included relocating 184,000 CY of waste, excavating 22,000 CY of bedrock, and placing 224,000 CY of fill. Work encompassed landfill liner extensions, leachate and gas system installations, stormwater management, and surface water infrastructure improvements, ensuring compliance with environmental and operational requirements.
CHALLENGE
The landfill had to remain open and operational while construction proceeded, requiring careful traffic coordination. The project also involved handling large volumes of waste and bedrock excavation, managing stormwater and leachate systems, and executing landfill gas system modifications—all while adhering to strict environmental regulations.
SOLUTION
Our team developed a phased approach to maintain landfill operations, implementing traffic control measures and sequencing work to minimize disruption. Waste was strategically relocated to establish final grades, and excavation efforts were carefully managed. Strong coordination with landfill operators ensured seamless integration of new infrastructure, including liner systems, gas extraction piping, and stormwater controls.
RESULT
Despite the complexity, the project was completed efficiently while keeping landfill operations uninterrupted. The successful construction of the liner extension, final cover system, and associated infrastructure enhanced environmental compliance and long-term site sustainability. Careful planning and execution ensured safety, regulatory adherence, and minimal disruption to landfill operations.
