Client:
Mashareq Investment
Design and development of a landfill gas emissions management and safe engineering closure system for the former dumpsite underlying The Brooks residential development in New Cairo.
Project Overview
The Brooks project occupies approximately 800,000 m² on a former dumpsite site. ESWMCE developed an IPCC First Order Decay (FOD) model to estimate landfill gas generation through 2075 and established a technical framework for validating gas generation and managing landfill gas emissions prior to residential development.
