GeoSmart EPDM secures former landfill site in Italy
The municipality of Collepardo in the province of Frosinone (Lazio) needed to secure a disused landfill site to prevent the infiltration of rainwater inside it. This procedure, called “landfill capping” involves placing a cover over landfill waste or contaminated soil to isolate it and avoid the spread of contamination. Synthetic geomembranes, such as Elevate’s GeoSmart EPDM, provide a durable and easy-to-install solution for this type of application.
