Landfill Mining and Rehabilitation

Increasingly, landfill mining is being used to recover valuable materials for reuse or sale; and the rehabilitation of former landfills for their potential economic value is critical for urban renewal and growth. DP’s landfill remediation technology, originally developed by Austrian based IUT GmbH includes the patented, proven Smell-Well aeration system which eliminates the problems of odours, gaseous emissions and groundwater contamination. Smell-Well can be used for aeration prior to excavation and mining to provide a safe working environment for short term activities and is also a long term solution for total in-situ aerobisation and permanent landfill stabilization or rehabilitation of landfill for alternative use.
