PROJECT SNAPSHOT
Minex (Infracon partner company) was contracted by Wastech Services Inc. on a 5-year term to operate the Campbell Hill Landfill and perform civil scopes to expand the landfill’s capacity. Minex’s contract has expanded to $25M to include civil scopes including: berm construction, liner placement preparation and support, ditching, access road construction and maintenance. Minex simultaneously runs the daily operations of the landfill which includes: receiving waste; including asbestos material, operating the tipper, and the excavation and hauling of daily cover to place over compacted landfill waste. Minex works carefully to receive and process waste in a manner that minimizes environmental impacts. Environmental responsibilities are met by mitigating several environmental hazards including: explosions/fires, release of landfill gases, release of contaminated fluids, surface subsidence from shifting refuse and exposure to prohibited waste, asbestos waste, landfill leachate and vector/rodent control. Significant challenges overcome on this project include excavating very hard glacial till material that regularly required ripping in addition to various groundwater issues impacting excavations.
