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.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

  • Construction of containment berms (5690,000m3 placed to date)
  • Excavation, hauling, and placement of cover material (110,000m3 to date)
  • Forest service road construction
  • Acceptance of over 500,000mt of wasting including contaminated soils, asbestos and general waste
  • V-notch & trapezoidal ditches (440Lm completed to date)
  • Drill and blast 5,000m3
