Reg Renaud spent 40 years in the field developing methods and equipment to investigate the geotechnical and environmental conditions of various types of sites all over the world. Based on his broad expertise in these fields, he applied his talents to the investigation and compliance issues at municipal solid waste landfills. With the advanced technology applied to keep landfills in compliance, he developed the next generation in Bioreactors using Steam Injection methods. This technology will allow landfills to hold 10 times more waste and produce 10 times more energy than past landfills. If every landfill in the United States uses the Steam Injection technology today, we will be the first generation to control our own refuse in our lifetime and not leave it for the next generation.

Solid waste management is a global concern, and landfilling remains the predominant management method in most areas of the world. This book provides a comprehensive view of state-of-the-art methods to manage landfills more sustainably, drawing upon more than two decades of research, design, and operational experiences at operating sites across the world. Sustainable landfills implement one or multiple technologies to control and enhance the degradation of waste materials to realize a multitude of potential benefits during or shortly after the landfill’s operating phase. This book presents detailed approaches in the development, design, operation, and monitoring of sustainable landfills. Case studies showcasing the benefits and challenges of sustainable landfill technologies are also provided to give the reader additional context. The intent of the book is to serve as a reference guide for regulatory personnel, a practical tool for designers and engineers to build on for site-specific applications of sustainable landfill technologies, and a comprehensive resource for researchers who are continuing to explore new and better ways to more sustainably manage waste materials.

Environmental engineers support the well-being of people and the planet in areas where the two intersect. Over the decades the field has improved countless lives through innovative systems for delivering water, treating waste, and preventing and remediating pollution in air, water, and soil. These achievements are a testament to the multidisciplinary, pragmatic, systems-oriented approach that characterizes environmental engineering. Environmental Engineering for the 21st Century: Addressing Grand Challenges outlines the crucial role for environmental engineers in this period of dramatic growth and change. The report identifies five pressing challenges of the 21st century that environmental engineers are uniquely poised to help advance: sustainably supply food, water, and energy; curb climate change and adapt to its impacts; design a future without pollution and waste; create efficient, healthy, resilient cities; and foster informed decisions and actions.

The 16th ICSMGE responds to the needs of the engineering and construction community, promoting dialog and exchange between academia and practice in various aspects of soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering. This is reflected in the central theme of the conference 'Geotechnology in Harmony with the Global Environment'. The proceedings of the conference are of great interest for geo-engineers and researchers in soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering. Volume 1 contains 5 plenary session lectures, the Terzaghi Oration, Heritage Lecture, and 3 papers presented in the major project session. Volumes 2, 3, and 4 contain papers with the following topics: Soil mechanics in general; Infrastructure and mobility; Environmental issues of geotechnical engineering; Enhancing natural disaster reduction systems; Professional practice and education. Volume 5 contains the report of practitioner/academic forum, 20 general reports, a summary of the sessions and workshops held during the conference.

"structured so that the logical progression of understanding, selection, and implementation of innovative technologies follows smoothly from one phase to another." Dr. Stephen James, Innovative Technology Coordinator, U. S. EPA Office of Research and Development OBrien & Geres landmark 1988 Hazardous Waste Site Remediation, also published by Van Nostrand Reinhold, gave us an excellent introduction to a critical issue. Their current book is a much needed, in-depth examination of recent innovations for hazardous waste site remediation, that will give you a comprehensive understanding of todays technology. Innovative Engineering Technologies For Hazardous Waste Remediation includes innovative applications of state-of-the-art chemical, physical, and thermal technologies as well as established processes. Youll review the principles behind their development and see examples of successful applications. The authors not only explain the new processes but also critically analyze when and where they apply and dont apply. In addition, they suggest ways to overcome some of the barriers to implementing innovative technologies. OBrien & Geres unique approach unites scientific and management concerns. The authors stress real-world, long-term solutions based on such legislation as the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA), and RCRA. Whether youre a member of an environmental consulting firm, or a manager, engineer, or student, youll find this book to be the authoritative source on the latest technologies for hazardous waste remediation. The OBrien & Gere Companies 19451995...a foundation for the future.

This volume contains the proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Geosynthetics (12 ICG), held in Roma, Italy, 17-21 September 2023. About 750 Authors - Academics, Researchers, Students, Practitioners, Contractors and Manufacturers – contributed to the peer-reviewed papers of this volume, which includes the Giroud lecture, the Bathurst lecture, the Rowe lecture, four keynote lectures and 296 technical papers. The content of these proceedings illustrates the sustainable use of geosynthetics in a variety of innovative as well as consolidated applications. After the sustainability implications in the correct use of geosynthetics, the ability to overcome the natural events effects, often related to the climate change, and to adequately afford the human activities (as the increase of pollution) forced to refer to a new keyword: Resiliency. The 12 ICG intends to become the base for the next step, hence the conference theme is 'Geosynthetics, Leading the Way to a Resilient Planet'. The conference topics, through general and parallel sessions, invited presentations and keynote lectures, address the most recent developments in geosynthetic engineering, and stimulate fruitful technical and scientific interaction among academicians, professionals, manufacturers, students. The 12 ICG proceedings contain a wealth of information that could be useful for researchers, practitioners and all those working in the broad, innovative and dynamic field of geosynthetics.
