Mining landfill
study
Guinea
La Minière landfill – STUDY – The La Minière landfill (located in the Dar-es-Salam 2 district), built on a former quarry in 1980, was intended to last only 20 years. Almost half a century later, Conakry continues to dump its 1,600 tonnes of garbage there every day. During the rainy season, this 25-hectare landfill sees whole sections of the garbage mountain collapse onto homes. The project involves rehabilitating the La Minière landfill, not only to make it safer, but also to protect the local population and recreate a living space.

Project
context
the mining landfill study, a health and social emergency
This study is part of an overall project to set up a new waste treatment system in the Conakry conurbation, with the creation of a landfill far from the capital. The solution studied includes the closure of the current mining landfill, site stabilization, identification of environmental and social issues, and site enhancement with harmonious landscape integration.
This is a scheme set up by the French Ministry of the Economy and Finance to finance feasibility studies in a pilot sector with a view to implementing a downstream project. The aim is to bring together the players involved in a rehabilitation project, to define the roles and responsibilities of each, and to propose a methodology ranging from the preliminary and detailed study to the technical and economic feasibility study. Gregori International brings together the skills needed to carry out these studies and support you through to rehabilitation. Our teams are made up of geotechnical engineers, construction engineers, environmentalists, landscape architects, urban planners and sociologists.

rehabilitation professionals for an ecological rescue
- This study has four components
- Securing the site (geotechnical study, remodeling, stabilization) ;
- Controlling environmental impacts (leachate collection and treatment, biogas capture, stormwater management);
- Land reclamation (energy balance of waste, economic or recreational activities, landscaping) ;
- Controlling social impacts (integration of the informal sector, e.g. ragpickers).

projects
Gregori International has developed expertise across the entire process of remediating end-of-life landfill sites and other contaminated sites: from preliminary studies and remediation strategies through to the specialised technical phases of gas and leachate collection.
Until the site has been revitalised and transformed into an urban park, Gregori International and its expert partners provide a turnkey service to clients as they tackle the major environmental, social and health disasters posed by these slum areas.
