Landfill Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation and closing of landfills
Our company has developed a specific rehabilitation or closing plan for each old dumpsite or landfill that we have taken over, designed individually for the respective landfill. Although the plans differ, there is a set of basic works that have to be carried out for each landfill that is rehabilitated or closed:
- Arranging, compacting and covering old waste with insulation layers of clay soil
- Creating a new infrastructure (access roads, control points, weighing bridges, premises, fence, water drainage systems)
- Creation of a system of soil deposits which will be used successively for daily coverage of waste with soil
- Assignment of staff and provision of machinery (caterpillar, compactor etc.)
Cleaning up the waste from the past
The first step of rehabilitation is to arrange, structure and compact the waste. Waste is often spread over a big surface on old dumpsites, thus, it needs to be arranged, compacted and covered with soil according to the specific rehabilitation planClean up works in the landfill of Tkibuli in Imereti region
Weighing bridges
Weighing bridges ensure transparency - waste deliverers know exactly what they pay for. And municipalities can now plan and optimize their collection scheme as they know exactly how much waste is produced.New weighing bridge in Telavi
Management of surface and waste waters
The rehabilitated landfills are equipped with surface water catchment systems. Drainage and collection systems help avoiding ground water and surface water pollution.Surface collection channel Samtredia
Coverage of waste with loam and clay soil
In rehabilitated landfills, loam and clay soil is deposited on heaps and then used on a daily basis to cover the received waste.Clay soil deposit in Dusheti landfill
Technical infrastructure - fences, gates and facilities
Fences assure the landfill and hinder people and animals entering. Entrance gates allow to control access to the landfill and keep record of waste delivered and the facilities shelter staff and machinery needed for operating the landfll.Mtskheta landfill entrance gate
Creation and maintenance of road infrastructure
Fortified and solid access roads are crucial for assuring 24/24 operation during 365 days per year. Waste production never stops!Tsnori landfill inner road construction
River bank protection
Existing old dumpsites and landfills are often located close to rivers and in canyons and huge amounts of waste are swept away in case of heavy rain and flood water. River bank protections are crucial for avoiding this.Kutaisi Nikea - riverbank fortification
Equipment and staffing
Minimum two staff are permanently present on each landfill. The rehabilitated landfills are equipped with caterpillars for efficiently managing waste disposal, compacting and coverage with soil.Receptionist and caterpillar driver from Terjola landfill
