Mountain View Regional Waste Management Commission

Disbury Landfill

MVRWMC contracted Devcon to excavate and design a future landfill cell. The project encompassed multiple facets, including managing various materials such as topsoil, subsoil, clay, and existing waste. Additionally, Devcon prepared subgrading before construction of a 600mm clay liner in four 150mm lifts, ensuring 97% SPD compaction with 1-3% above optimal moisture content. Manholes were removed and replaced. We supplied and installed 150mm SDR28 perforated PVC leachate collection pipe and an 80mm HDPE liner above the clay liner, including 16 oz heavy geo-textile, tire shred and 12 oz Geo-textile.
