Planning, implementing and managing landfill projects safely over the long term
Discuss the landfill project now and request a consultation
DMT supports landfill projects from site assessment and planning for regulatory approval, through construction and operation, to remediation, decommissioning and aftercare. We develop technically sound, economically viable and sustainable solutions.
Landfills place high demands on planning, construction, operation and long-term safety. Site conditions, geotechnical properties, sealing systems, drainage, structural stability, as well as environmental and regulatory requirements must be taken into account at an early stage and reliably monitored over decades.
We support public and private clients in the development, expansion, optimisation and aftercare of landfill sites. In doing so, we combine expertise in geotechnical engineering, environmental engineering, infrastructure planning and regulatory compliance to holistically integrate technical, regulatory and economic requirements.
Successful landfill projects begin long before the construction phase. Site conditions, ground conditions, environmental requirements and long-term safety measures must be assessed at an early stage.
Please speak to our experts about your requirements; we look forward to hearing from you.
We lay the foundations for safe, approvable and economically viable landfill projects.
During the construction phase, we support clients in ensuring the project is carried out to a high standard and that quality is maintained.
We also provide support with the assessment, documentation and optimisation of landfill processes whilst operations are ongoing.
For existing landfill sites, we develop plans for technical containment, remediation and long-term monitoring.

Our team of fire safety experts develops specialised fire-fighting strategies for spoil heaps and landfill sites. Find out more and let’s work together to ensure safety at your landfill sites.
Landfill technology encompasses the planning, construction, operation, monitoring, remediation and decommissioning of landfills. This includes, amongst other things, site assessment, sealing and drainage systems, structural stability and aftercare measures.
Third-party supervision is an independent technical inspection of construction works, materials and the quality of workmanship. It helps to ensure compliance with technical requirements and a transparent quality assurance process.
Leachate and landfill gas must be collected, treated or recycled in a controlled manner in order to minimise environmental impact. This requires suitable technical systems and continuous monitoring.
Refurbishment may be necessary if existing safety systems no longer meet the requirements or if environmental and safety risks need to be reduced.
Waterproofing, drainage, structural stability, technical safety measures and long-term maintenance and monitoring measures are particularly important.
Aftercare involves the long-term monitoring and documentation of leachate, landfill gas, surface linings and other safety measures, in order to ensure the site’s long-term safety.
Yes. We support the planning permission process by carrying out site assessments, preparing expert reports and technical proposals, and liaising with the relevant authorities.
