Leachate Landfill Tanks

OTS leachate landfill tanks are expertly designed for efficient and safe management of contaminated groundwater in land reclamation projects. Our tanks provide a robust solution tailored to meet the unique challenges of leachate storage and disposal.

What are leachate landfill tanks?

Leachate tanks are used in landfill and land reclamation projects. They are designed to hold contaminated ground water which is being extracted from the site. Commonly called leachate, this ‘water’ can be highly corrosive, toxic or acidic depending on what the site was being used for previously. Once the leachate landfill tank is full or the project has ended the contents are then transferred to a tanker for removal to an appropriate waste facility site for treatment and safe disposal.

A leachate storage case study

OTS Group is proud to have recently delivered a fully compliant leachate storage solution, hitting all the needs of our client’s brief and delivered on time and on budget. The main goal for this project was to supply, transport, and commission six new leachate landfill storage tanks, while also managing the decommissioning and safe disposal of the client's redundant tanks. The challenge lay in delivering a seamless solution that kept site downtime minimal, ensured safety, and incorporated the latest technological advancements in tank design.

Understanding the implications of prolonged downtime for our client, OTS Group offered an end-to-end service, encompassing transportation, contract crane lift, and decommissioning of the tanks. This turnkey approach meant the client experienced minimal disruptions during the project's execution.
OTS Group provided a range of both cylindrical and rectangular steel bunded tanks, spanning capacities from 50m3 to 100m3. Notably, a unique 'Stay less' option was introduced, ensuring our client was equipped with state-of-the-art storage capabilities. The inclusion of redesigned weir options showcased our commitment to innovation tailored to specific client needs.
Considering the nature of leachate landfill storage, OTS incorporated a series of security enhancements. These included a lockable hooped ladder, a safety walkway, and breakaway couplings - all designed to minimise potential spillage and damage. Additionally, each tank was treated with a specialised rust inhibitor lining, further extending the tanks' lifespan and ensuring the stored leachate remained uncontaminated.
