ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF ENGINEERED LANDFILL FOR SOLID
WASTE MANAGEMENT

LITERATURE REVIEW2
1. INTRODUCTION
The present section is going to produce a literature which will describe and demonstrate
the research covered including theory, techniques and methods associated with solid waste
management and its analysis and design for engineered landfill. To achieve the earlier
stabilization of wastes for effective after the utilization of landfill site is a necessity to check that
the already progressed landfill management method is equipped with treatment facilities that are
at a higher level and with semi-aerobic structure. Keeping in mind a sustainable environment,
landfills are to be utilized based on a solid engineered landfill.
2. OBJECTIVES
The main objective of the study is to review the literature for the research topic analysis and
design of engineered landfill for solid waste management.
3. KEYWORDS
Solid waste management, waste landfill, design of landfill, engineered landfill
4. BENEFITS AND STAKEHOLDERS
The present literature is going to contribute towards the industry of waste management and all
the engineers who are associated with designing of landfill for solid waste management.

5.1 Primary needs for Sanitary Landfill
According to Gottinger (2018), there are four primary conditions, at a minimum basis
that should be matched with any operation and site design, only after that it'll be considered as
one of the sanitary landfills. The conditions are;
 Partial or full hydrogeological separation
 constant control
 Formal preparations of Engineering
 Schematic waste covering and installation
To reduce the contamination of surrounding soil and groundwater and leakage from the
base in a site which is not able to be situated on land that by nature consists leachate security, it

is advised to bring more lining materials. All leachate will inevitably reach the surrounding
environment if a synthetic or liner-soil is given on the void of a pattern of leachate compilation
(De Silva et al. 2015). As a basic need, it is a must that leachate compilation and treatment is
stressed.
5.2 Sanitary Landfill
Wastes are safely isolated in sites from the ambience which are named Sanitary Landfills.
It is considered to be an option after its physical, biological and chemical degradation (Gwenzi et
al. 2016). The countries which have a high-income rate may also have a higher standard of
isolation. Technically, it is not a necessity to waste that huge amount of money in upgrading the
standard of isolation to protect the health of the public. It is better to choose the way in which it
is to be done according to the native conditions. The very forehand target is to match, to the best
range available, with the four in scripted primary conditions of a sanitary landfill, with a long
term purpose to match them at last in full (Uyguner-Demirel et al. 2017). Improvement started
its walk with smaller steps increasing its speed in operation over and landfill designs many years
are intended to attain than efforts to create alone, huge frisk in expectations of engineering. In
comparison to smaller sites, massive landfills will need further investment to higher the
standards. Gwenzi et al. (2016) opined were the size of the site is increasing, the unit expense of
those improvements will inevitably decrease. In sites which are long operating (more than ten
years), there are benefits in finance and other spheres also. If dissipation carrying costs are cheap
and not so high, huge regional sites which serve more than two towns could be beneficial in all
means.
5.3 Selection of the Landfill site
Carroll (2018) mentioned there are several issues that are to be considered while selecting
an appropriate and exact site for the landfill;
i. Surroundings (distances from waterways, distances from a living locality, water bodies,
airports) ii. Conditions of the area in terms of geology and hydrogeology,
iii. The seismic ambience within the area,
iv. The current (and upcoming) utilization of existing groundwater,
v. Risk of inundation, landslides and subsidence,
