Not Just A Big Hole
While it may seem that a landfill is just a big hole in the
ground, constructing a landfill is a rather complicated and intricate process.
When sourcing out a company to build a landfill, it is important to ensure that
they are fully aware of all the proper procedures and materials necessary for
the task. A landfill requires special materials and a careful, thought-out
design.
Ontario Specialty Contracting is a multi-faceted company
that specializes in a vast array of environmental
construction projects. Not only is it
possible to build your landfill, our team can execute the project in order to
ensure its safety and governmental compliance.
Landfill Construction
There is a technique to landfill construction that each team
must follow in order to have the job completed in an appropriate amount of
time. If the job is completed correctly the first time, it is possible to avoid
problems down the line that can result from landfills that have not been
properly built. When a landfill is built wrong it leaves the possibility of
soil contamination, hazardous leaks and environmental damage.

What We Do
In order to provide the most
accurate estimate of our production
rates, a team of highly trained professionals will assess the land and
surrounding area. Once we have a good idea of size, as well as the type of
materials your landfill will be used for, we will be able to determine the cost
of materials and how long the construction process will take place.
Equipment and Space Requirements
Equipment used in landfill construction is slightly
specialized to the task. As there are a variety of different components used in
a landfill, there are many different parts that need to be built. Not only does
the ground need to be dug up, each landfill requires a specific lining
dependent on what materials will be disposed of in there.
If the landfill that is being built will be containing
non-hazardous materials, the following standards are generally applied when
disposing of materials:
-
Materials take up as little space as possible
-
Compacted to reduce volume
-
Opening of landfill is covered by soil
Landfills that are built to contain hazardous materials
require a more extensive building process in order to adhere to all health and
safety standards.
