Waste and landfill

Closed landfill rehabilitation, Buloke Shire

Rehabilitation and post-closure management of a closed council landfill in Buloke Shire, with landfill-gas extraction, leachate pump-out and drainage works.

The work

Methane extraction systems, leachate pump-out and disposal arrangements, drainage works and environmental controls were put in place to meet the regulator's expectations and limit long-term environmental and community risk.

Inspections, maintenance and corrective actions across the shire's legacy waste facilities ran alongside the rehabilitation to manage environmental, safety and operational risk.
