Problem
Due to growing population, environmental problems are arising from unscientific and indiscriminate disposal of municipal garbage in both rural and urban areas. The Garulia Municipal authority is one of the municipal body among twenty seven municipal bodies in the district of North 24 Paganas of West Bengal. It is responsible to develop a system for scientific disposal of garbage through composting and engineered landfill. Municipal landfills and their leachate (water) and air emissions are extremely hazardous. All landfills tend to fail and leak leachate into the ground and surface water. So, there is need of liners which are chemically inert and do not allow gases to pass through their membranes.
Solution
The KMDA has designed a landfill which has a total area of about 4168 sqm. The secured landfill consists of 4 slopes of approximately 4.5 m height. 1500 sqm is for segregation of biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste. The biodegradable waste will be carried out to a composting plant for making fertilizers. The scope of work for Maccaferri was the supplying, laying and joining of geomembrane (1.5mm thick) and non-woven needle punched geotextile of 2.0 mm thickness (Mactex MXP 200) at the bottom and on slopes. The Geomembrane used contained 2.5% carbon black content. This membrane has a good environmental crack resistance. Its excellent UV resistance, made it possible to lay it on exposed conditions as well. Advantages of Maccaferri’s geomembrane solution: 1.Impermeable and chemically inert because of controlled quality. 2.Better and consistent quality. 3.Faster and economical construction. 4.Cost effective and faster construction.
