Landfill Gas ... Tackling an Explosive Problem

The production of landfill gas is one of the major dilemmas associated with landfill sites. While methane is the primary hazard to buildings erected on or near the landfill, other gases do exist and warrant consideration.

Hetek Solutions Inc. provides a two-step strategy for battling gas buildup and migration. First, a theoretical model of the potential hazard is constructed. Then Hetek performs an exhaustive on-site investigation to backup and fine-tune the control model. While control programs may be designed and installed during the development of the landfill site, Hetek Solutions can create a retrofit program for completed sites. By accessing the bore holes, bar holes and test pits used for environmental studies and structural design, Hetek Solutions obtain the necessary data to develop an effective gas and leakage control program.
