What is Landfill Construction?
As the population and urbanisation increases in developing countries, waste management has emerged as a major environmental challenge. Cities and industries produce more waste, yet the available land for disposal is increasingly expensive and frequently used for residential or commercial purposes. With the advancements in technology and manufacturing, the change in the type of waste has played a major role in driving the need for sophisticated waste management.
We provide innovative and sustainable ways to generate more disposable capacity within the same land footprint available. Our systems withstand differential settlements and can utilize, locally available infill materials, minimizing the cost of building and maintaining the structure. They can be built to protect the waste and ensure toxic wastes are contained in the confined area.
Applications of Landfill Construction
Strata Global offers a wide range of products that are used in landfill construction sites for site perimeter haul roads, reinforced steep slopes, retaining walls and other structures. Strata’s structural geogrids allow you to build over the weakest subsoils from dredge spoil and swamps to saturated clay with MSE berms, veneer stability and landfill caps.
MSE berms
Strata Global designs and supplies Mechanically-Stabilized Earth (MSE) berms. MSE berms utilize geogrid materials and soil, as well as many facing options, to create grade separations that allow for landfill facilities to expand vertically as the need for landfills increase and land space is not available.
Veneer stability
Strata Global also provides veneer stability geosynthetics for liner support in landfills. Oftentimes, soil alone is not stable enough to withstand the weight of a veneer cover, and Strata products can provide the stability necessary to ensure a solid foundation.
Landfill caps
Landfill cap systems include a geosynthetic layer that prevents too much moisture from embedding in the landfill. Strata provides this crucial layer in landfill development.
