View case study
Vancouver Landfill Phase 4 Closure
Closure design and construction support for 18 ha of final cover with 53 vertical gas wells, staged so filling could continue alongside.
View case study
Sechelt Landfill Expansion Feasibility
Assessed new sites against the BC Landfill Criteria and compared lateral expansion, vertical expansion and waste export.
View case study
New Providence Ecology Park
Multiple years of landfill fire control, remediation and operations engineering that turned the Harrold Road landfill into an ecology park.
