Asphalt in Landfill Construction

The sealing systems of landfills have the primary task of preventing damage to the groundwater by pollutants from the landfill body and withstanding general mechanical stresses during the construction and operation of the facility. In the course of increased environmental awareness, the technical requirements in landfill construction, especially for sealing systems, are becoming more stringent. Asphalt sealing systems have proven their worth for companies with experience in hydraulic engineering with sealing areas of more than 25 million m2 in various designs, both as surface sealing and as core sealing of dams. The feasibility of slope inclinations of up to 1:1.2 means an additional gain in landfill volume compared to the standard sealing system
