Specific features of diaphragm for Trebež landfill improvement in Samobor
Abstract
The diaphragm forming a vertical barrier for preventing the spread of pollution from Trebež landfill (Samobor) is a buried clay-concrete structure measuring 698 m (length) and 0.8 m (width) in plan. The design and realisation requirements are described, and the entire construction process, involving design, preparatory work, construction, and quality control, is presented. Realisation of the vertical barrier is the most demanding and the costliest element of the Trebež landfill improvement project. Disturbances and challenges encountered during realisation of the barrier are presented, with a special emphasis on verticality.
