Tetra Tech is a global leader in the design of municipal solid waste facilities that incorporate the latest engineered systems to provide the highest level of environmental protection.
Tetra Tech supports communities through the full life cycle of municipal solid waste facility development from preliminary planning and permitting through implementation and operational phases, including design, construction, operation, and closure. We have consulted for the largest public municipal solid waste authorities and private waste management firms in the world.
Tetra Tech provides municipal solid waste landfill engineering services, such as liner, cover, drainage, landfill gas, and environmental control system design. We also support permitting, design, and construction of municipal landfill civil infrastructure, including roadways, stormwater controls, fee collection facilities, buildings, utilities, and security measures. In addition, we are fully qualified in the design of next generation municipal solid waste facilities to support waste diversion, organics management, waste-to-energy, and bioenergy utilization initiatives.
Landfill Design and Engineering Services
While new approaches to reduce, reuse, and recycle waste resources are being developed and implemented, landfill operations remain the backbone of municipal solid waste management. For the foreseeable future, landfills are a necessary component of an integrated waste management strategy, backstopping new initiatives, and providing safe disposal of materials that cannot be recovered through other methods.
