Landfill construction is the systematic process of developing engineered facilities designed for the safe disposal of solid waste; to protect human health and the environment.

Their design incorporates multiple layers and systems to prevent soil and water contamination, control gas emissions, and ensure long-term stability.

A typical sanitary landfill includes a prepared foundation, impermeable liners, leachate collection systems, waste placement, daily cover materials, gas extraction systems, and final closure components. Construction follows strict engineering guidelines and environmental regulations to minimize the impact of waste on surrounding ecosystems.

The ultimate goal of landfill construction is to provide a controlled waste management solution that is environmentally sound, cost-effective, and capable of operating safely throughout its lifespan—from initial development through closure and post-closure care
