LANDFILLS

Landfill engineering has evolved from groundwater protection to energy management.  The primary purpose of the landfill is to contain the waste from entering the ground.  This includes a plan to detect leaks and address the issue of leachate drainage.  Capping a landfill requires a plan to dispose of the methane production.  Whether flaring or more sophisticated methods of recycling the energy into a power source, the exit stategy for the landfill has become a focus for designers.  Headwater Lining has extensive experience in working with engineers to address these issues and providing the most cost-effective solution these challenges pose.
