Sanitary landfills are facilities designed for the final and safe disposal of solid waste generated in urban areas. Their importance lies in being fundamental pillars of integrated waste management, contributing significantly to the reduction of environmental pollution and compliance with strict environmental regulations.
The implementation of geosynthetics in these infrastructures is essential to prevent leachate infiltration into the subsoil, avoid rainwater ingress, mitigate odor emissions, and reduce costs associated with material transport, specialized labor, and project execution timelines.

Selected projects
Sanitary Landfill – Cusco, Peru
Sanitary Landfill – Cusco, Peru
Sanitary Landfill – Cusco, Peru
As part of the strengthening of environmental infrastructure in southern Peru, the Urubamba sanitary landfill in Cusco was developed over an area of 4.7 hectares, with a capacity to store 225,000 m³ of solid waste over a 10-year period, benefiting more than 65,000 inhabitants.
The system incorporates geosynthetics as a fundamental component of its design, preventing leachate infiltration into the subsoil, avoiding rainwater ingress, and mitigating odor emissions. Additionally, it optimizes leachate and gas collection generated by waste decomposition, enabling faster and more cost-effective execution.
