Landfills

Thiess Services is at the forefront of engineered landfill design, construction and operation, with the highest standards of environmental control and compliance.

Where possible, we implement state-of-the-art technology on our engineered landfill sites to collect methane gas generated by waste decomposition and transfer it to sites where it is used as a fuel source in the co-generation of “green electricity’’.

Thiess Services’ ReOrganic Energy® project at Swanbank Waste Management Facility near Brisbane in Australia was the second of its kind in the world, where gas from the landfill has been used to off-set some of the coal used to generate electricity at the neighbouring CS Energy power station.

Thiess Services also offers closure and post-closure landfill management services, including the long-term maintenance of former landfill sites.

As both an owner and a manager on our clients’ behalf, features of our landfill operations include:

• Multiple cell liner combinations
• Advanced leachate collection and recirculation systems
• Optimised compaction
• Accurate logging of waste receival and location
• Rehabilitation and revegetation of completed cells
• Stringent environmental monitoring and control
