Landfill facility in its pre commissioning phase will focus on providing a Compost
Plant of 750 TPD that is capable of treating the waste envisaged to be treated at
the facility. The design of the said facility has been prepared as per norms
specified by Municipal Solid Waste (Management & Handling) Rules 2000 MoEF.
It is our effort to abide by the norms specified by the concerned government
authorities so as to satisfy best development mechanisms. We discuss here our
strategy to execute all the activities related to the design, engineering &
construction of the proposed landfill facility through the following plans:
(a) Landfill Facility
(b) Common Facilities at the plant with details
The area will be mainly allocated for landfill facility, Soil storage facility, Leachate
disposal facilities and Storage respectively.
Landfill facility
The landfill design at Coimbatore will be as per the Geo Technical investigations
keeping in view all the aspects such as charachteristics of soil, water table, MSW
rules. Landfill facility includes the liner system, drainage, storm water drains, etc.
Landfill Layout
The landfill will be approximately rectangular in shape with an area of approx.
50,000 m2 to accommodate waste upto 2017 for inert from the processing facility
i.e. 25% of the daily incoming waste. Simultaneous closer of the cell getting filled
up shall also be carried out. The subsequent phases would be progressively
extentended of the width to reach the full estimated capacity of the landfill
Liner System
The leachate control in the landfill involves two steps: (a) prevention of migration
of leachate from landfill sides and landfill base to the subsoil by a suitable linear
system: and (b) drainage of leach ate collected at the base of a landfill to the side
of the landfill and removal of the leach ate from within the landfill. The liner
system will be as per DPR.
Before the construction of clay liner following operation will be done. All loose
particles like boulders, lumps, tree roots, rubbish or any organic deleterious
matter shall be removed and base layer shall be compacted by roller / vibratory
roller to achieve maximum dry density. After achieving maximum dry density clay
line shall be constructed.
Soil Filter
Leachate Sump
Specifications
The leachate collection system shall be placed over the landfill liner system. The
bottom liner shall have the necessary slopes. Material for High-Permeability
Drainage Layer shall meet the following specifications.
(1) A leachate drainage layer consisting of 300 mm thick granual aggregate
material of permeable value of 1x 10-2 cm/sec with a slope of 2%.
(2) 110 mm dia HDPE feeder pipes (feeder pipes) with a maximum lateral
spacing of 30 m.
(3) 200mm dia HDPE header pipes (header pipes).
(4) A main HDPE header pipe (Main Header Pipe) of size 200 mm dia, which
will collect leachate from the header pipes and discharge in to a leachate
collection sump.
(5) The leachate collection sump will be comprises of a well and two
numbers of 1 HP pumps
(6) Leachate collection tank/s and a leachate collection network.
Laying Of Perforated Leachate Collection Pipes
During the installation of the leachate collection pipe following points will be taken
in to account:
We shall provide details of supplier of the HDPE pipes along with the
following three pipe parameters:
1. Compressive yield strength
2. Wall crushing
3. Wall buckling
The perforated pipes shall be laid out in "Y" trenches and the trenches
shall be backfilled with gravel / sandy gravel same used for leachate
collection layer. The trench shall be cut true to the line and level as par the
drawings.
All the perforated pipes shall be connected to a solid HDPE header pipe,
through a Standard UT-joint.
We shall follow all required procedure for transporting, storing, laying and joining
of HDPE pipelines from the manufacturer.
process of moving laterally and vertically will be continued till the design height is
reached.
(d) Once the design height will be reached, the waste will be closed on the top
with a top liner and gas vents.
Above process will be continued till the landfill operations will be completed.
Keep the equipment and machinery employed at the Landfill Facility from
Prior to making for the Readiness Certificate for the project we shall
The O&M Manual (including the formats for the reports to be submitted
during the Active Operations Period and the Post Closure Period).
(ii)
Weighing
We will use a weighbridge installed to weigh the waste to be landfilled.
We shall plan his operation in a manner such that the Municipal Solid Waste is
taken into the Landfill Facility only between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM or as mutually
agreed upon between NMMC and us.
We shall record the following minimum data with regard to the Municipal Solid
Waste:
(i) Date of Operation
(ii) Total laden weight of the truck.
(iii) Time
(iv) Total unladen weight of the truck.
(v)
The procedure for weighment of the Municipal Solid Waste and certification by
the NMMC shall as set out in the O&M Plan and O&M Manual.
Landfill Operation
Intermediate linear system
(a)
(b)
(ii)
The slope of the Engineered Sanitary Landfill face shall not exceed 1:3.
Vegetation cover
(a)
(b)
The side slopes shall be reshaped with slope of 1:4 i.e. for every 1m height 4m
Horizontal spread of the slope shall be provided. For this purpose gauges with
either wooden pegs or brick pillars shall be provided at the top and bottom edges
and at 30m distance all along footprint area. With the help of these gauges the
reshaping work from one end shall commence which shall include cutting of
excess material, shifting the same to required place and leveling in desired
formation with the help of grader or manually whatever is suitable. Once the
desired shape is achieved, the surface shall be compacted with hand operated
power rammer to the extent possible.
Relocation of the waste from other sites
As a step to remediation of the dump sites at Ondipudur and Kadawalpalayam,
the waste from these sites shall be transported to the proposed landfill closure at
Vellalore. The waste shall be transported from these sites to the designated site,
compacted, leveled and then closed with the liner system at top.
Landscaping
Upon finalizing foot-print area the landscape design from the landscape architect
will be submitted for the approval of NMMC.
On completion of the cover layer landscape would be developed over the closed
landfill which will include green cover.
Maintenance
We shall comply with the O&M Requirements set out.. In doing so, we shall
ensure that the closure is maintained to the standards and specifications as set
out in the Construction Requirements and also meet the other requirements, if
any, set out in the Agreement.
In the design, planning and implementation of all works and functions associated
with the operation and maintenance of the Facility, we shall take all such actions
and do all such things (including without limitation, organizing itself, adopting
measures and standards, executing procedures including inspection procedures
In order to ensure the optimal performance of the landfill site, we will check the
environmental pollution and comply with the regulatory requirements; the
following environmental parameters shall be monitored on a regular basis:

Preliminary & Indicative and it is not a commitment on our part since the exact details will
be finalized only after the detailed engineering, designing, and finding out the availability
of the required materials & machineries.
