Waste, Hazardous Materials, Landfills, and Waste-to-Energy | SOQ

Uncontrolled landfills can cause gas emissions, poor air quality, ground and surface water pollution and other environmental impacts. WSP can help waste management facilities develop practical, cost-effective solutions to opti mize resources and meet regulatory requirements. With minimal long-term maintenance, we can design final cover systems for landfills that include gas control, leachate management, and storm water control. Financial considerations All closure systems must be accompanied by proper financial assurance. Our extensive experience allows us to accurately estimate closure and post-closure care costs for proper funding during landfill operation. Post-closure land use Careful consideration must also be given to the intended end use, and by working together, we can find solutions for a variety of options. Successful post-closure conversion projects include converting land to open space, recreation al facilities or sports complexes, commercial and industrial We understand the technical challenges and solutions for successfully developing photovoltaic (PV) solar systems at closed landfill sites. WSP can perform all aspects of solar PV facility design, construction, operation and maintenance, and eventual deconstruction. We work with clients to develop design and construct PV solar systems to ensure no adverse impacts on the site’s ongoing post closure operations (active remediation systems, LFG venting or flare systems, leachate recovery systems, landfill settlement surveys, LFG surveys, erosion inspections, routine cap maintenance, areas of potential future intrusive remedial measures, etc.). Mitigating risks Risk-based assessments help identify and quantify uncer tainties that negatively impact the selected closure option. Developing a comprehensive risk management strategy that ranks and evaluates potential dangers is key in performance measures such as cost, schedule and available materials. development sites and solar farms.

The future that awaits us will be different from today. WSP’s Future Ready ® program considers changes to climate, society, technology and resources. By thinking outside the current paradigm and considering current and future trends, we can help you navigate challenges and bring about solutions.
