The problem of characterizing both active and closed landfills and waste sites is an increasing one in the light of increasing environmental legislation and poor historical records. A ZAP Consulting Engineers geophysical survey can be rapidly carried out for a fraction of the cost of obtaining low-resolution information through invasive means, without disturbing the ground.
Typical Targets
- Mapping leachate level within landfills,
- Locating landfill boundaries,
- Mapping “dry” and “wet” zones for leachate control,
- Investigating cap integrity,
- Geological characterization for new cell design,
- Leachate plume mapping,
- Locating voids or poorly compacted zones,
- Locating underground springs.
