Elevated temperatures in waste containment facilities
Municipal solid waste (MSW), construction demolition debris (CDD), industrial byproducts, and many other wastes are landfilled in waste containment facilities. A number of factors can lead to elevated temperatures and thus present a hazard to the public health and safety. For instance, MSW …

Effects of Freezing Temperature on Interface Shear Strength of Landfill Geosynthetic Liner
In modern days, municipal and hazardous waste containment facilities i.e., landfills are performance standard designed, well-engineered, operated, and monitored in compliance with federal regulations in 40 CFR Part 258 (Subtitle D of RCRA), or equivalent state regulations. Hence, application of …

Long-Term Performance of HDPE Geomembranes as Landfill Liners
… normally used as part of a composite liner for waste containment facilities such as municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills and heap leach pads. Field conditions, which include physical stresses on the geomembrane, elevated operating temperatures, and contact with leachate constituents, have the …

Liner characterisation and leak detection using electrical resistivity techniques
… to design a suitable lining system for waste containment facilities. This research work is particularly useful in generating awareness about the state of landfilling and will help various environmental protection agencies in making informed decisions for the development of rules and …

Evaluation of Contaminant Containment at Regina Landfill
Landfill and waste containment facilities are routinely constructed on natural or engineered low permeability barriers placed above or within the vadose zone to prevent contaminant migration into the groundwater system. Numerical estimates of design lives for assessment of barrier system …
