INCREASE IN VOLUME OF CONTROLLED LANDFILL
SLOPE REINFORCEMENT IN LANDFILLS
The landfill, which was designed in1996 and opened for use in 1998, is located in a small valley and its original configuration provided for an embankment at the foot of
the valley to hold a total volume of solid urban waster of 383,100m3 (excluding provisional cover material, operation berms and final cover system). An expansion of the landfill was planned in 2002 to increase the total volume to 455,000 m3. As well as constructing a new area on the upstream side, the expansion planned to
raise the berms on the first three levels of the landfill by moving forward and raising the existing downstream embankment.
