systems for the collection of leak water

Nothing is more ambitious than the design and setting-up of a long-term effective system for the collection and drainage of leak water. Within just a few years, zones of water accumulation or water blisters often develop within the landfill body, harming the stability of the landfill body or prevent appropriate collection of the landfill gas. Besides the topography of the landfill area, the design, selected material, setting of the layers as well as the proper implementation of the materials play dominant roles. Not to mention the potential access to the system and the control and cleaning capabilities. The negligence of a customised system planning or cost related savings in the realisation will in nearly every case cause major defects which afterwards cannot be corrected or only with significant investment.
