Layers of a landfill

From bottom to top layers:

  • Waste
  • Leveling layer : Levels the top of the waste dump. Forms a foundation layer for the capping construction.
  • Gas conducting layer : Ensures controlled removal of the gas rising to the surface of the dump.
  • Impermeable seal : Stops the escape of gas and prevents the influx of (rain) water.
  • Drainage layer : Removes excess (rain) water.
  • Vegetation layer : Permits formation of an environmentally acceptable surface structure and protects the liner.
