Solid Waste
Our solid waste sector team works throughout the waste industry assisting in the design and construction of landfills and landfill cells, including liner design, leachate network collection and landfill gas management.
We also specialise in waste strategy and policy, waste composition assessments, landfill gas impact assessment and management, the development of customised waste acceptance criteria and special waste assessments, and technical support for consenting and compliance of waste-to-energy facilities.
Our technical capabilities support improved waste management and minimisation techniques solutions, including feasibility of diversion and onsite resource recovery. Our team also offers comprehensive experience in resource management planning and consenting pathways, environmental impact assessments, resource consent submissions and serving as expert witness. Our team is leading the way in developing a national framework and market for the Circular Economy For Soils in Aotearoa.
