Modern engineered landfill systems are designed to safely isolate waste from the surrounding environment through multiple engineered containment layers. Geosynthetics form the core of these systems by providing containment, protection, drainage, filtration, and reinforcement to ensure long-term environmental safety and structural performance.

Engineered landfill systems are designed to isolate waste from the surrounding environment through a combination of containment, protection, drainage, filtration and reinforcement layers. Geosynthetics form the working core of each of these engineered components, ensuring long-term environmental safety and operational performance.
Landfills are broadly classified into Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Landfills and Hazardous Waste Landfills, depending on the type of waste being disposed, each designed with an appropriate level of containment to meet environmental regulations and project-specific requirements. Municipal Solid Waste landfills generally utilize a single composite liner system comprising a geomembrane over a compacted clay or geosynthetic clay liner, supported by geotextile protection layers and an efficient leachate collection system, while Hazardous Waste landfills require advanced containment systems incorporating double or triple composite liners, primary and secondary barrier systems, leak detection layers and high-performance protection geotextiles.
TechFab offers a comprehensive range of geosynthetic solutions for engineered landfill systems, including protection geotextiles, drainage composites, reinforcement geogrids and filtration geotextiles. Our engineering team provides technical assistance, product optimization and application support to deliver durable and sustainable landfill solutions.

Engineered landfill systems are modern waste containment structures designed to safely isolate waste from the environment using multiple layers of geosynthetics. These layers provide containment, protection, drainage, filtration, and reinforcement, ensuring long-term environmental safety and structural performance.
MSW landfills typically use a single composite liner system comprising:
Hazardous waste landfills require double or triple composite liner systems with:
