Course Methodology
Why Attend
- Participating in a Managing and Rehabilitation of Landfill course is crucial for acquiring the skills needed to effectively manage waste sites while minimizing environmental impact. Attendees learn best practices in landfill design, waste management, and environmental monitoring, ensuring compliance with regulations and protecting public health. Understanding landfill rehabilitation strategies allows for the revitalization of decommissioned sites, promoting sustainable land use and environmental restoration. Overall, this course empowers individuals to contribute to sustainable waste management practices and environmental stewardship.
Course Objectives
- Historically, landfills were commonly located on the fringe of urban development in quarries which are commonly used for the disposal of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW). The biodegradation of organic matter in the MSW landfills is associated with the gas which increases the void ratio and weakens the structural strength of the refuse within the landfill.
- This seminar provides the necessary knowledge for participants and covers the following:
- Recognizing waste problems, To be familiar with the problems encountered due to non-sanitary landfill, Current and future development of Waste Management System, Introducing types of treatments and safe disposal, Exchange of information and identify types of local problems among the participants, Introducing modern ways of treatment and rehabilitation for closed landfill, Introducing and monitoring systems to determine the movement of Leachate Migration & The importance of Waste Minimization Program .
Target Audience
- Environmental engineers
- Waste management specialists
- Regulatory compliance personnel
- Site managers
- Health and safety officers
- Environmental consultants
Course Methodology
- Incorporate theoretical lectures on landfill management, waste disposal techniques, and environmental regulations.
- Organize site visits to operational landfills and rehabilitation projects.
- Facilitate interactive workshops focusing on waste characterization, landfill design, and closure procedures.
- Conduct hands-on training sessions on landfill monitoring, remediation technologies, and equipment operation.
- Engage participants in group projects to develop landfill management plans for hypothetical scenarios.
- Administer assessments to evaluate comprehension and practical skills in landfill management and rehabilitation.
