In cooperation with long-time collaborative partner Greentec Consulting (a specialist in landfill engineering), ASK led the design and approvals process for the first lined cells at the Bunbury-Harvey Regional Council’s (BHRC) Stanley Road Waste Management Facility.

The project involved joining the proposed lined cells with the existing unlined cells in a design which maximised airspace and minimised construction costs in consideration of the site characteristics.

The engineering design component included assessing all relevant criteria and constraints and preparing an overall landfill design that meets the assessed requirements, as well as concept engineering drawings and a report for approvals submission.

The team assessed landfill development, groundwater protection, stormwater management, leachate management and landfill gas management for the proposed development including modelling, review of case studies and other engineering justification where relevant.

Landfill and Construction Environmental Management Plans (EMP) were produced outlining the environmental receptors, constraints and measures proposed to ensure the continued disposal of waste has minimal impact on the surrounding environment.  The EMPs included a Risk Assessment of the proposal in line with regulatory requirements. A Landfill Closure Management Plan was also developed.

In December 2019, DWER approved the application to build the first lined cells at BHRC’s Stanley Road Waste Management Facility.

This project is on-going. For more information, please contact ASK.
