Class II Landfill Project
Geography: Central Alberta
Industry: Landfill
Materials: Geosynthetic Clay Liner (GCL), 60 mil Textured and Smooth HDPE Liner, Geo-Composite, Geotextile, HDPE Pipe
Duration: 4 weeks
Project Description
Work consisted of a multi-layer system that required specific materials not readily available and manufactured to meet the strict guidelines set for these types of landfills. This project had multiple detail areas that required a strict sequence of steps due to existing cell tie-ins including the extension of leachate collection piping.
outcome
This Project had earthworks/liner contractor coordination and weather issues but ECI was able to work through both to successfully complete the project.
lessons learned
This project helped ECI implement additional earthworks contractor coordination measures, better crew selection criteria, and important stop-go measures to better contain leachate during critical tie-ins at landfills.
