Case Studies

Exposed Geomembrane Cover
Trenchless Anchor System

A large, municipal solid waste landfill contracted with American Environmental Group (AEG) to install an anchored, exposed geomembrane cover and landfill gas (LFG) collection system. The site was in an area of heightened scrutiny and the project was time-sensitive. AEG established a 7-day work week program in order to fulfill the project ahead of schedule. Meeting all of the project’s fast-tracked goals, and finishing the work within budget, was made possible largely by two elements of the project:

• AEG’s ability to provide all of the essential services: the supply and installation of geosynthetics, the design and construction of the LFG system, and the core operations and maintenance (O&M) services.
• The first utilization of a soil anchor ballast geomembrane cover design in the United States.

Perdido Powers Up
Escambia County, Florida

For the Phase I expansion of the Perdido Landfill in Escambia County, Florida, American Environmental Group’s Landfill Gas (LFG) Systems Division facilitated the successful implementation of the site’s gas collection and control system. The LFG team’s work included the drilling of 38 wells (more than 2,300 vertical feet of drilling) and extensive and diverse LFG piping provision and installation. The project was significant not only for its role in ensuring environmental protection and site safety but for the beneficial generation of renewable power. The Perdido Landfill’s gas generation is being converted into power that can be utilized by the local energy grid.

Safer Collection and Production

For an active municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill, American Environmental Group’s Landfill Gas (LFG) Systems Division has been involved in the site’s continuing development. The facility owner controls more than 2,000 acres of land, with more than 750 acres reserved for landfill cells. In recent years, the site has utilized gas collection systems connected to a conversion facility capable of producing enough power for 15,000 area homes.
