Solid Waste Management Solutions
Solid waste management is one of the most technically complex industries, requiring expertise in civil, environmental, mechanical, geotechnical, and chemical engineering. From designing landfills and transfer stations to advancing waste conversion and biogas technologies, RESPEC delivers practical, sustainable, and cost-effective solutions for waste management, waste conversion and resource recovery.
As the waste industry shifts toward diversion, recycling, and resource recovery technologies, we are at the forefront of helping clients maximize sustainability goals while ensuring profitability and compliance.
Our Expertise
With over 30 years in the industry, our experts have the experience, knowledge, and expertise needed to handle the complexities of solid waste management, from designing new facilities to construction support, ongoing monitoring, operations and compliance support, and decommissioning.
Design & Permitting
We provide full-service support to design, permit, and develop waste facilities that align with regulatory requirements, business goals, and evolving market conditions.
Our team provides front-end planning, feasibility studies, permitting, and engineering design to ensure safe, efficient, and cost-effective solid waste solutions.
Facility Construction & Operations Support
We don’t just design waste facilities. We also help build, operate, and optimize them for long-term performance. Our team integrates the latest technologies to ensure your operation runs efficiently and meets strict regulatory and compliance requirements.
Biogas & Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) Solutions
Landfills are one of the largest sources of methane emissions, a potent greenhouse gas. We help clients turn this challenge into an opportunity by designing systems to maximize landfill gas collection and manage it for beneficial reuse.
For years, landfill gas-to-energy projects were limited by conversion inefficiency and cost barriers. But today’s advanced gas separation and purification technologies make RNG a profitable and sustainable solution. We help clients design and implement cost-effective gas recovery systems that maximize energy output and minimize emissions.
Leachate Treatment Solutions
Managing leachate has become increasingly complex due to rising costs and stricter regulations. We provide advanced leachate collection and treatment systems, along with pre-treatment solutions and compliance support to help facilities meet regulatory requirements efficiently.
Our expertise includes conveyance and storage design, treatment technology evaluation and plant design, and system optimization to improve treatment performance, as well as system rehabilitation and upgrades to extend the life of existing infrastructure.
Conversion & Diversion
With growing corporate sustainability mandates and zero-waste goals, waste diversion and resource recovery have become top priorities.
We provide engineering support for waste facilities that recover resources and convert organic, recyclable, and non-recyclable waste into new materials, compost, fertilizer, and fuel.
The RESPEC team partners with our clients to perform feasibility assessments, design processing systems, and ensure compliance for waste-to-resource projects that maximize efficiency, profitability, and sustainability.
Monitoring & Reporting
Solid waste facilities operate in one of the most heavily regulated industries, requiring extensive compliance monitoring and reporting to avoid penalties and environmental risks.
With decades of experience in regulatory compliance, air and water quality monitoring, and engineering best practices, we help facilities stay ahead of evolving environmental regulations.
