LANDFILL RESTORATION & RECYCLING
The problem of the treatment of waste and recycling is a global problem with
severe local impact. Indeed, all countries are subject to the problem of waste that
has been dumped in the past and that is still produced in growing quantities,
causing severe environmental problems that require urgent solutions.
Even if we cannot see part of the adverse effects, because they are underground
or hidden in the backyard, they do indeed exist and continue to cause contamination.
The common solutions of hiding the landfills without restoring the old ones, treating
the newest ones and enhancing the recycling are simply not acceptable anymore.
The company specializes in the preparation of comprehensive plans dealing with
all aspects of the restoration of old landfills and operating landfills.
We do not attempt to hide the problems, but to find sustainable, safe, reasonable, economical, practical
and feasible solutions. These are not one-dimensional solutions, but a definition
of an overall strategy with practical recommendations for implementation. We lead
a professional team comprising professionals from all of the various disciplines, aimed
at achieving the right balance. We also plan recycling parks and recycling facilities,
including the introduction of cutting-edge recycling technologies for the different kinds
of waste.
The company has prepared, together with Plesner Architects, the overall plan for the
restoration of the Hiriya Landfill at the entrance to the city of Tel Aviv. This landfill is the
largest in Israel and one of the largest in the world (16,000,000 m3). Together with SCS
engineers from the USA and Tahal engineers from Israel, we have prepared the plans and the
outline scheme that will serve as the basis for the restoration of the landfill, the healing of the
environment and the development of the largest public metropolitan park in Israel (Ayalon Park).
A leading German landscape architect, Professor Peter Latz, was chosen at an international design
competition for the detailed landscape design of the park that will be developed on the restored landfill.
The company is planning a large-scale project to remove a huge landfill which is gradually
collapsing into the Mediterranean Sea in the city of Netanya. The waste will be recycled
(30%-50%) and transferred safely from the site. After restoration of the remaining
contaminated earth, a neighborhood of about 2,000 housing units will be built behind
the location of the landfill and a promenade along the seashore with three hotels will be built on the large
hole from which the waste was removed.
The company prepared the overall plan for Israel's central recycling park. Here, eleven different
kinds of waste will be recycled in the future. At present, municipal waste, construction &
demolition waste and green waste are recycled at this park. Over 1,000 trucks enter these facilities daily.
