When carrying out non-destructive investigations of abandoned landfills we apply a range of geophysical techniques. These supply the comprehensive information needed to assess risks, plan for proper disposal and provide the means to monitor pollutant propagation.

The vertical and horizontal dimensions of waste sites can be determined. Conclusions can be drawn about the internal structures of the landfill body. The following are possible:

• Localisation
• Determining thickness
• Structure determination
• Monitoring
• Assessing the base liner
