GEOGRID LINER SUPPORT AT EMPIRE SANITARY LANDFILL

The Empire Sanitary Landfill, Inc., located in Taylor Borough near Scranton in Northeastern Pennsylvania, is a 150 acre double lined municipal solid waste landfill situated on a 600 acre parcel which is accepting approximately 5,000 tons per day of municipal and residual/special handling waste. The facility design incorporates a double flexible membrane liner system to capture the leachate generated by the facility, and is predicated on the use of geosynthetics; including geofabric, geonet, geogrid, and geomembrane in order to adequately protect the environment. The paper describes the design and innstallation of the geogrid.
