ACigs Webinar 54 - Vertical Expansion of Landfills with Geosynthetics

What happens when a landfill needs more capacity, but expanding its footprint is constrained? Join us for ACIGS Webinar Series #54: Vertical Expansion of Landfills with Geosynthetics, where our presenters will explore how geosynthetics can contribute to practical engineering solutions for the vertical expansion of existing landfill facilities. The webinar will bring together international and Australian experience, moving from the background and development of the approach through to real-world case studies and considerations for assessing the feasibility of vertical landfill expansion. Our Presenters Simonne Eldridge | Tonkin + Taylor Simonne will introduce the background and history of vertical landfill expansion and discuss how the approach can provide a practical solution, including a case study from Hong Kong. Gary Schmertmann | WSP Amir Shahkolahi | Global Synthetics Gary and Amir will present a recent Sydney case study, followed by additional observations and lessons from feasibility studies undertaken for other projects. Moderator Siamak Paulson | Sigma + Greentec Webinar Agenda: • 5 min | Welcome and introduction • 45 min | Technical presentations and case studies • 5 min | Sponsor presentation • 5 min | Q&A
