Investigation of ground contamination and leachate leakage around waste landfill

폐기물매립지 주변 침출수 누출 및 지반오염 조사연구

In recent years there has been a steady increase in geoenvironmental engineering projects where geotechnical engineering has been combined with environmental concerns. Many of these projects involve some investigation on contaminant and leachate flume in the ground and landfill. In this study, investigation on leachate around the waste landfill was carried out to detect the leaked and contaminated area. Many techniques such as geophysical, drilling and sampling method were applied. As a result of this study, the concentration of leachate and the point of leachate leaking around landfill were found out, and countermeasures for cut-off of leachate flow from landfill were investigated.
