FS, Design, and supervision of works for the closure of Granville Brooke and Waterloo dumpsites

The consulting services aims to provide “feasibility and engineering/technical (design) services for the closure of Granville Brooke and Waterloo dumpsites “. As both the Granville Brooke and Waterloo have exceeded their holding capacities,” the dumpsites have already reached and continued beyond their intended solid waste disposal capacity, having been pushed beyond their boundaries due to poor operational practices.

Objectives of the Assignment

The overall objective is to undertake a study to determine feasible closure options and prepare design and tender documents for the closure of the Granville Brooke and Waterloo dumpsites in line with specific objectives highlighted thus;

Specific objectives of this assignment consist of the following parts:

·                  Assess the overall feasibility of the proposed actions – identify the requirements and assess alternative options for closing the dumpsites.

Post closure management; (The management activities necessary to maintain and monitor the dumpsites facilities such as the leachate treatment, disposal site gas treatment, cover soil etc. The activities also include the environmental monitoring, disposal site stabilization monitoring and management of information/records of the closed disposal sites)

c). Post closure land use; (The re-utilization of closed dumpsites for purposes other than for waste filling. The post closure management activities should be continued throughout the post-closure land use)
