The Environmental & Industrial Geophysics Group, in association with the Environment Group and Engineering Group of the Geological Society cordially invite you to a one-day conference:
Non-Invasive Investigation and Monitoring of Waste Sites: Engineering to Post Closure
at the European Research Institute, University of Birmingham
on Wednesday 31 March 2004
This one-day meeting will focus on waste site investigations both during engineering, operation and after closure. Non-invasive methods are frequently used in determining the location, extent, content and depth of closed landfill sites; the mapping of leachate plumes escaping from both operational and closed sites; in monitoring the performance of landfill liners and the properties of the waste; and assessing the appropriateness of sites for new landfills.
The meeting will seek to inform those present of best methods for the monitoring and investigation of sites, how monitoring can help in the management of, and future development on, waste sites and will enable current practitioners and their clients to present innovative examples of such work.
The meeting is aimed at: consultant engineers, environmental consultants, local authority environmental officers and managers, regulators and landfill operators.
All welcome but please pre-register your interest.
