AECOM design Stephenson’s Road Landfill, Cranbourne Cap, Liner, Leachate and Landfill Gas Ring Main
City Of Casey landfill cap and pipework to carry landfill gas and leachate to processing facilities. The cap required around 220,000m3 of earthworks and installation of around 100,000m2 of Liner Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) liner, and the pipework involved installation of around 15,000m of HDPE pipe ranging from 32mm to 355mm in diameter.
The problem gained national media attention, and Goldsmiths worked closely with Casey council and consultants AECOM to overcome the significant challenges presented by this project.

Jaylon Line Boral Western Landfill Cells
Boral Western Landfill Cells 2L and 2M Construction project required lining of two new landfill cells in Deer Park, in 2013 in strict compliance with the EPA’s Best Practice Environmental Management Guidelines (BEPM).
This $8.5 million project involved bulk cut to fill earthworks, clay liner construction, Geosynthetic Clay Liner (GCL), HDPE and geotextile liners, leachate aggregate placement, HDPE pipe installation and installation of leak detection cables.
Jaylon Victoria was engaged by Goldsmith to perform the HDPE lining function of the works.

New Co-Polymer Geomembrane as Alternative for HDPE
Sharpe Bros launch of GreenCoat which is a multi-functional co-polymer membrane system which offers total water impermeability that can be applied directly to all types of ground surfaces (including clay and sand). It can also be applied to existing hard surfaces such as concrete or steel that may require permanent repairing or waterproofing or a non-slip coating. The product is ideally suited to the installation of dam linings – compared to existing HDPE geomembrane installation methods it is less labour intensive, non-toxic, UV stable, fire resistant, requires less ground surface preparation and offers corrosive protection among other advantages.
