Wellesley College Landfill Creation
MT excavated and transported borrow and wetlands material to form an on-site consolidation landfill with a capacity of 180,000 cy. MT excavated, placed, compacted and graded the consolidation area as the materials were brought in. MT used the GPS System survey equipment for placement and verification of this material.
MT then installed a geotextile layer followed by a 6-inch sand layer over the area to cap the materials and excavated an anchor trench. MT also installed a 60-mil HDPE liner, with stringent QAQC requirements, a geocomposite drain layer, and perforated pipe. A metallic strip indicator was placed at the cap's edge. To finish the landfill work, MT installed a two foot layer of borrow.
"The flexibility and creativity exhibited by the Maxymillian team helped us resolve many difficult challenges."
