RISK ASSESSMENT EXECUTION MODERN LANDFILL STRUCTURES IN FINLAND

摘要

Landfills risk assessing methods typically focuses on structural dimensions and harmful substances flux instead of focusing on local circumstances. The Structural Risk Assessing (SRA) method has been developed and presented in Finland, based on the inadequate results of landfill risk assessment. The SRA method helps to define which risk factors have been identified in the designing phase and how their impacts have been taken into account. The SRA method is a tool for the sustainable landfill designing process. The SRA method has been used in two landfills during the environmental permit process. Risk assessment can be effectively useful for aiming effective and economic structures. Cost-efficient solutions could equally be protected the environment without expensive materials. The SRA method was proved to be an applicable method of landfills risk assessing.
