Grade Control Optimises Compaction Ratios And Gives Operators Greater Autonomy In Mindarie, Western Australia​

Grade control optimises compaction ratios and gives operators greater autonomy in Mindarie, Western Australia The Tamala Park Landfill in Western Australia is one of the largest in the state, operated by the Mindarie Regional Council. The site provides comprehensive waste management services for the public, including a recycling centre and reuse shop. An onsite power station uses the landfill gas to generate electricity, which benefits the environment, and powers up to 5,000 homes per day. Two landfill compactors are used on site to distribute and compact the waste. In 2016 Mindarie Regional Council began trialling grade control technology on the machines to monitor the effect it would have on compaction ratios, available air space, and overall productivity.
