ClientAuckland Council and Waste Management NZ Ltd.
ProjectWhitford Landfill is a key element of Auckland’s
solid waste infrastructure and from mid-2005
was the sole remaining municipal solid waste
landfill on the Auckland isthmus. The landfill is
operated by Waste Disposal Services, a joint-
venture between Auckland Council and Waste
Management NZ Ltd.
The landfill has operated with modern
engineering and management systems since
1994, and is now a state-of-the-art facility
serving major urban areas in the southern parts
of Auckland City. The area has a base population
of nearly half a million people and contains
a significant proportion of Auckland’s light
industrial base.
Our involvement at the site commenced in 2000.
We have been responsible for obtaining resource
consents for development of Footprints “T” and
“U”, detailed designs for Phases 8, 9, 9A, 10, 11 and
12, ongoing development planning and design of
a steep sideslope liner system for extension into
the adjacent quarry void, airspace modelling and
stormwater drainage.

The landfill is lined with clay and geomembrane
liner systems, with particular detailing required for
portions of the liner adjoining the old historic landfill
on the site. The footprint ultimately covers 48 ha to
contain up to 12million m3 of waste.
