ANÁLISE DA APLICAÇÃO DE GEOSSINTÉTICOS NO ATERRO SANITÁRIO DE SEROPÉDICA/RJ

Abstract

This work presents an analysis of the application of geosynthetic materials in the sanitary landfill of the municipality of Seropédica / RJ. This landfill is located in an area of more than two million square meters, which is the largest landfill in Latin America. In addition, this land is located under the aquifer of Piranema, the main source of underground water in the region. Thus, the objective of this work is to describe the properties, functions and advantages of the use of geosynthetics in relation to materials conventionally used in this type of infrastructure. We highlight the technologies used as the triple layer of soil waterproofing made with geosynthetic blankets and a network of sensors interconnected with software that indicates any abnormality in the soil. It is concluded that geosynthetics constitute a rational, safe, economical and practical solution for waterproofing the landfill and the resources of environmental quality control with the application of these materials in the landfill of Seropédica tends to become reference for private companies and even for the organs environmental impacts.
