Redesign and automation of landfill entrance facilities can greatly improve the efficiency of solid waste disposal operations. In recent months, BAS has been contracted to apply its experience in master planning, civil engineering, information technology, and automation to upgrade to the entrance facilities at the following landfills: Frank R. Bowerman Landfill, Orange County, California: BAS provided civil engineering and technical support during installation of automation features for three unattended scales. A digital video monitoring system was integrated with the fee collection application. Radiation detection monitors, photo eyes, traffic gates and traffic signals were also installed to monitor vehicle movements. The facility processes 200,000 transactions per year. SR-85 Landfill, Phoenix, Arizona: BAS recently designed the entrance facilities for the City of Phoenix’s new SR-85 Landfill. This included design of a scalehouse, administrative and maintenance buildings, a fueling facility, potable water treatment system, water truck fueling facility, underground utilities, electrical systems, and irrigation system. |
Mesquite Regional Landfill, Imperial County, California: BAS is providing engineering, design, and regulatory compliance services for the support facilities at a new regional landfill being developed by the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts. Facilities being designed at the site include a scale house, administration building, trade shops, a mechanic’s office, and crew quarters. Highway 59 Landfill, Merced County, California: BAS was recently selected to design mprovements to the Highway 59 Landfill scalehouse and access roadway to accommodate current and projected traffic flows. This includes design of automated vehicle weighing system, a security/vehicle verification/load monitoring system, electrical improvements, communications systems, and civil improvements. Prima Deshecha Landfill, San Juan Capistrano, California: BAS provided civil design and technical support during installation of automation features and a new unattended scale at this landfill operated by the County of Orange. This included integrating a digital video monitoring system with the fee collection system; and installation of radiation detection monitors, photo eyes, traffic gates and traffic signals with fee collection to monitor vehicle movements. Existing staffed lanes were also retrofit with radio-frequency identification (RFID) equipment.
