Landfill and Ground-Gas – Current Best Practice in Monitoring, Risk Assessment and Remediation


aig_cpdhrs_14Two Day Course – Presented by ALGA

The Brooklands Green, Cranbourne incident led to a sea change in how development at or near former landfills is regulated in Australia. As development is increasingly located close to former landfills, it’s important that effective investigation, risk assessment and management of ground-gases are carried out.

Drawing on thirty years of UK ground-gas experience the presenters will provide a comprehensive update on latest best practice approaches to investigation, risk assessment and protection using relevant case studies, video content and practical demonstrations.

The presenters will demonstrate that developing realistic conceptual site models and building up multiple lines of evidence to inform the design of cost effective management systems is only part of the solution. They will also show that the practical aspects of installation and validation also need to be professionally managed for a project to be successful.
