Ace the MOLO Challenge 2026 – Your Pathway to Landfill Leadership!

The expansion of existing cells is a typical construction project in landfill operations because it directly relates to increasing the capacity of the landfill. Expanding cells allows additional waste to be accepted and managed within the facility, extending its operational lifespan. This process often involves excavating new areas, establishing liners to prevent leachate contamination, and ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.

While landfill gas systems replacement, internal waste transportation systems, and groundwater monitoring well installation are also important aspects of landfill operation and management, they typically do not involve the construction of new physical structures in the same expansive way as extending cells does. Instead, these activities focus more on maintaining or improving existing systems, which play crucial roles in waste management and environmental protection, but do not encompass the broader scope of construction projects associated with creating new capacity.
