Abstract:Taking the 2nd stage construction project at the rear of Keji Road in Jiulongpo District of Chongqing as an example, this paper analyzed the utilization effects of the applied engineering measures on closed landfill sites. The proposed road is going to cross Xinglong landfill site in Jiulongpo District, Chongqing. According to the results of site stabilization monitoring and evaluation, the organic matter content of landfilled waste in the reclamation area was low and the gas production tended to be exhausted. However, the methane and hydrogen sulfide content in some regions remained as high as 66.2% and 62.2 mg·m?3, respectively, suggesting potential risks of fire and explosion caused by gas migration, affecting road structure or causing air pollution. In view of this, the configuration of curtain grouting, landfill gas venting and online monitoring systems were applied in this project to block, transport and monitor landfill gas. Results showed that the implementation of curtain grouting can effectively cut off the path of gas migration between closed landfill and the proposed road area. In addition, when the gas concentration was detected by the monitoring system exceeding corresponding limitation (methane>5%, hydrogen sulfide>0.6 mg·m?3), gas concentration can be reduced to below the alarming values by the active landfill gas venting system. Therefore, the combination of curtain grouting, landfill gas venting and online monitoring systems can effectively block and control the landfill gas in order for safe utilization of aged landfill sites. Key words:landfill site/ curtain grouting/ landfill gas venting/ online monitoring.
