Project characteristics
As it was located on clayey soil, which results in unstable ground during construction, it was necessary to build a temporary access road so as not to disrupt internal traffic at the technical landfill site. Furthermore, our teams had to apply waterproofing to the cell walls using a bentonite wall.
