Malta is set to develop its second modern landfill as part of a plan to rehabilitate the heavily polluted Maghab site. The nation’s first truly engineered landfill, the taz-Zwejra Landfill, utilizes a lining system with textured geomembrane, a geotextile protection liner, a geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) and a leachate drainage system. The new Ghallis ta’ Gewwa Landfill will be built in a similar style and will be used extensively in engineering education efforts, David Lindsay writes for the Malta Independent.
