✦ Synopsis

Recent innovations in the ®elds of geotechnical engineering, geochemistry, materials technology, hydrogeology and ¯uid mechanics are now increasingly being applied for the prevention and control of pollution arising from contaminated ground and land®ll sites. In the ®eld of geotechnical engineering the design and speci®cation of low-permeability slurries for slurry trench cut-o walls and diaphragm walls is now increasingly being used as technique for leachate and groundwater control. In addition, the use of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), geomembranes and gas venting systems are now commonly used for the control of land®ll gas. This paper describes the application of some of the available techniques with respect to leachate, groundwater and land®ll gas control.
