Closure of a technical landfill site
project outline
The MRC de La Vallée-de-l’Or wished to close a cell of an engineering landfill site operating on its territory. Groupe Alphard was mandated to provide engineering services for the project, including the production of plans and specifications, the estimation of project construction costs, the coordination of the Call for Bids and the on-site surveillance of works. These services were performed in conformity with the regulatory requirements governing sites of this type, including legislation on the landfill and incineration of waste materials (in French le Règlement sur l’enfouissement et l’incinération de matières résiduelles [REIMR]) and applicable governmental decrees (18-2005, 598-2002, etc.). The final area of the covered cell is around 7,500 m2 (75 m x 100 m).
