APERÇU

Veuillez noter :
This course is held online over 2 days on the following schedule (All times in Eastern Time Zone):

10:00 am to 6:00 pm Eastern (Will include the usual breaks)

After participating in this course, you will be able to:

  • Identify factors that impact landfill site selection, design, operation and management
  • Learn the criteria used in the design, implementation and management of landfills
  • Review the design implementation process for landfills
  • Develop an understanding of the functions of cover and liner systems
  • Reduce the risk of contaminant release

Description:
The management of landfill sites is becoming an ever-challenging task. The impact of leachate from landfills on groundwater quality is a major concern from public health, environmental and regulatory perspectives. Additional concerns arise due to gas migration which can result in odours, the escape of combustible gases, and landfill stability and settlement issues. To avoid such issues, the designer and landfill manager must thoroughly understand the protection, movement, monitoring and control mechanisms of leachate and gas.

This course focuses on optimizing the performance of landfills from design to post-closure phases and deals comprehensively with topics of great concern to landfill designers and managers.

Course Outline:

  • Basic concepts of solid waste management
  • Regulatory Framework for landfill design
  • Leachate management & disposal
  • Design of liner & cover systems
  • Contaminant transport modelling
  • Leachate & gas collection systems
  • Operation, monitoring & management

Who Should Attend:
This course would be beneficial to those who are involved in the design, operation and management of sanitary landfills, including:
Solid Waste Managers • Environmental & Municipal Engineers • Landfill Managers • Consultants • Regulatory personnel • Technicians
