Remediation of a landfill with low risk potential in a rural environment – Case Klausdorf
A closed landfill with low risk potential in a rural environment was remediated by profiling the landfill body and covering the landfill with a soil layer.
Location: Brandenburg, Germany (Deutschland)
Project: COCOON
Maximizing landfill capacity by vertical expansion
The project involves the use of compacted waste, using engineered reinforcement to create retaining structures for waste with a 70° slope angle.
Location: Puglia, Italy (Italia)
Project: COCOON
Remediation of a large-scale landfill by installing a surface sealing system: Lübben
The landfill was remediated by capping the landfill body with a surface sealing system and a landfill gas capturing facility.
Location: Arnsberg, Germany (Deutschland)
Project: COCOON
Remediation of a landfill by a surface sealing system with an electronic leak control system
A Surface sealing system - a geomembrane and combined a leak control system detects damaged spots in the geomembrane and reduces the risk of hazards.
Location: Arnsberg, Germany (Deutschland)
Project: COCOON
Using a landfill area after closure of a landfill for a Waste management facility: Luckenwalde
A compaction and reloading station for waste, using the infrastructure of a former landfill, helps to reduce waste volume and optimizes transport logistics.
Location: Brandenburg, Germany (Deutschland)
Project: COCOON
Possibilities of using a closed landfill area for production of renewable energy: case Luckenwalde
A landfill is an ideal site for a photovoltaic plant. However, the special technical conditions linked with the sealing system have to be considered.
Location: Brandenburg, Germany (Deutschland)
Project: COCOON
Use of slag for the construction of the drainage layer at the landfill Schwanebeck.
The construction of the drainage layer with slags substitutes the use of natural resources, such as gravel. The ecological footprint of the landfill is reduced.
Location: Brandenburg, Germany (Deutschland)
Project: COCOON
Extended landfill gas treatment by CHP with reservoir – case Lübben
The practice extends the applicability of the CHP-system to process landfill gas, avoiding greenhouse gas emissions while gaining energy and generating income.
Location: Brandenburg, Germany (Deutschland)
Project: COCOON
Remediation of two landfill sites by landfill excavation at the Duisterweg in Amersfoort
Two former landfill sites, containing 461.000 m3 of waste, where completely excavated in order to develop the Vathorst area in Amersfoort.
Location: Utrecht, Netherlands (Nederland)
Project: COCOON
Landfill mining to develop the area in housing area in Veenendaal
Two former landfills in Veenendaal where mined to be able to develop the area into a housing area. The waste and the excavated soil was largely reused.
Location: Utrecht, Netherlands (Nederland)
