Landfill excavation is multi-disciplinary in scope involving aspects of program design, planing and coordination, site management, and most importantly, communication among site personnel.

Program Planning

• Site History and discovery
• Landfill artifact type and associated hazard
• Setting up Health & Safety program

Geophysical Site Assessment

• Locate the artifacts within the landfill
• Use GIS to assist with location

Site Investigation Sampling

• Initial sampling to verify hazards

Heavy Equipment Operation

Use crew with previous hazardous landfill excavation experience.

Waste Management

After artifact characterization, process the artifact into the proper waste stream.

Health and Safety

Determine what the site hazards are and set up a safety program that addresses the hazards and insures flexibility.
