Environmental Infrastructure Construction for Landfills

Landfill environmental systems require specialized infrastructure built to perform in demanding operating environments. IET provides construction services focused specifically on environmental systems within landfill operations, including landfill gas infrastructure, leachate systems, and monitoring installations. Our teams understand the operational constraints of active landfill sites and coordinate construction work to minimize disruption to daily operations.

Specialized Landfill Construction

Unlike general contractors, IET focuses specifically on the infrastructure systems unique to landfill operations. Our construction teams work regularly in landfill environments and understand the technical and operational challenges associated with building environmental systems within active waste facilities. This specialized experience allows us to deliver construction projects safely and efficiently while coordinating closely with landfill operations teams.

Construction Capabilities

Landfill Gas Infrastructure

Construction services supporting landfill gas collection systems:
• Wellfield infrastructure installation
 • Gas collection piping
 • Condensate management systems 
• Flare and blower station infrastructure
 • System upgrades and expansions

Leachate Infrastructure

Construction of systems designed to manage liquids generated within landfill cells.

Capabilities include:
• Leachate collection piping 
• Pump station construction 
• Force main installation 
• Storage tank integration 
• Conveyance system upgrades

Monitoring & Remote Environmental Monitoring Servies Installation

IET installs monitoring systems designed to provide operators with real-time visibility into infrastructure performance.

This includes installation of:
• REMS equipment 
• Monitoring sensors 
• Pump and tank monitoring systems
 • Communications hardware

These systems can be implemented as standalone monitoring or integrated with existing SCADA platforms.

Construction in Active Landfills

Construction inside operating landfill facilities presents unique challenges. Work must often occur near active waste cells, gas infrastructure, and leachate systems while landfill operations continue. IET teams coordinate closely with site operators to plan construction activities that maintain safe working conditions and minimize operational disruptions.

Infrastructure Retrofits & Upgrades

Many landfill environmental systems evolve over time as sites expand, regulations change, or renewable natural gas projects are developed. IET regularly supports projects involving:
• System expansions 
• Infrastructure upgrades 
• Replacement of aging components 
• Preparation for RNG projects

Our experience with both engineering and construction allows us to identify practical solutions for upgrading existing infrastructure.

Integration with Engineering & Monitoring

Because IET combines engineering expertise, construction services, and monitoring technology, our team can support infrastructure projects across the full lifecycle. From system design and construction through long-term monitoring and maintenance, IET provides operators with a single partner capable of supporting complex landfill infrastructure projects.
