From 19 May, large-scale planting of flower crops will begin in Chelyabinsk — more than 25,000 petunias, ageratums and salvias, as well as tree and shrub seedlings. The plants were grown in a year-round greenhouse located on the site of a reclaimed municipal landfill.
Key technological aspects of the project:
-
Use of biogas for heating the greenhouse complex. The gas is collected by vertical geodrains and transported through pipelines from the reclaimed landfill, ensuring energy efficiency and reducing environmental impact.
-
Use of geosynthetic materials manufactured by «TechPolymer». A seepage control liner consisting of multifunctional layers — namely, a reinforcing RD geogrid, the Hydromat 3D drainage mat, the bentonite clay-based self-healing mat Bentotech ASL, geomembranes, and the roll-form Biomat for rapid revegetation — completely prevents landfill gas emissions into the atmosphere, ensuring environmental safety throughout the entire former landfill site.
This project demonstrates the effectiveness of an integrated approach to reclamation, combining:
-
modern geosynthetic technologies;
-
biogas utilisation;
-
restoration of disturbed areas followed by their use in municipal services.
The «TechPolymer» group of companies continues to develop areas related to environmental engineering and sustainable ecological restoration.
