Project Solution

Core Environmental Projects (Core-EP) were initially engaged to prepare a concept gas collection and interception design based on existing landfill gas investigations and risk assessments. Early in the review, Core-EP identified several areas of opportunity where the landfill gas risks could be downgraded via detailed landfill gas investigation to support the completion of a quantitative landfill gas risk assessment.

In addition to downgrading perceived landfill gas risks, Core-EP prepared an alternative landfill gas capping design and rehabilitation plan, which was accepted by the regulator by demonstrating equivalent performance against best practice guidelines. Overall, the risk assessment and design services resulted in cost-savings for the client in the order of $3.5M, while addressing the concerns of the local council and regulator.
