    BACKGROUND

    There is growing awareness among the general public

    as well as the authorities about healthy management

    of solid wastes. Generated solid waste can be

    municipal solid waste or hazardous waste or e waste

    depending upon the source. Burgeoning population

    growth and increase in the industrial production also

    resulted in the greater amount of solid waste

    generation. The current practice of indiscriminate

    disposal of waste in land and water is adversely

    affecting the society both economically and

    environmentally. The costs of remediation or cleanup

    of hazardous wastes contaminated sites are

    astronomical. Engineered landfill is one of the end-

    of-pipe methods, which provides sustainable solution.

    In addition to the construction, there are operational

    problems associated with landfills which are highly

    concern to the public. Examples of these problems

    include landfill gas and leachate migration that can

    result in odors, groundwater contamination, escape

    and ignition of greenhouse and combustible gases.

    The most important factors that ensure success

    landfill are containment of the leachate and

    managing the gas and odour. Hence to address this

    issue, Indian Geotechnical Society, Chennai Chapter

    proposed to conduct this one day practical oriented

    national workshop on Landfill design and

    construction. Good practice in planning, design,implementation and management will result in better

    long-term performance of landfills. This workshop

    provides ways and means with complete practical

    aspects that needs to be considered for the design

    and construction of landfill.

    WORKSHOP BENEFITS

    Understand the landfill siting and itsimportance.

    Understand the geoenvironmental aspects oflandfill liner construction and its field

    evaluation.

    Expose to the procedures for design andconstruction of landfill.

    Apply the knowledge of latest practice in thelandfill construction.

    Understand the importance of quality controland checks during the landfill liner construction

    in order to achieve geosustainability.

    Introduction to carbon sequestration, carboncredits and carbon trading in engineered solid

    waste landfill.

    Eminent personalities from Industry and Academy will

    deliver lectures on the above aspects.

    About Indian Geotechnical Society,

    Chennai Chapter

    Madras Chapter of Indian Geotechnical Society was

    formed in the year 1987 and later renamed as

    Chennai Chapter. The chapter has been organizing

    seminars, workshop and discourses every year since

    then. The emphasis in these seminars has been

    towards field practices and budding and practicing

    engineers were encouraged to actively participate in

    the deliberations of these programmes. Regular

    technical lectures are also being arranged by the

    Chapter for the benefit of its members and student

    community. The Chennai chapter organized Indian

    Geotechnical Conferences in the year 1996 and

    2006. The chapter also contributed immensely to the

    revision of IS codes related to Geotechnical

    activities. The chapter has about one thousand

    members.
