The project involves the restoration of the landfill (Solid Waste Disposal Site) at the location of Lachni, in Kythira, to comply with current environmental standards. The process unfolds in two phases, each contributing to the overall goals of the project.
The first phase involves technical interventions for the restoration of the landfill, including earthworks for systematic waste collection, terrain shaping and leveling, final cover works, stormwater management, drainage, and biogas management, along with landscaping and irrigation works for landscape reclamation.
The second phase focuses on the construction of solid waste landfills in Kythira and smaller landfills in Antikythira. Key activities include earthworks for site shaping, waterproofing, and addressing environmental impacts. Supporting infrastructure works are developed for the Kythira landfill, including appropriate slopes for stability and optimizing the space capacity. The waterproofing system consists of a geological barrier, rear layer, waterproofing membrane, geosynthetic drainage layer, geotextile, and protective gravel material. Drainage systems are connected to settling tanks for effective waste management. This phase also includes the fencing of the construction site, road access network construction, installation of lighting network, administration buildings, creation of irrigation tanks, fire infrastructure, water supply systems, metal workshop building, fire protection zone planning, creation of a biogas management system, firefighting network, flood trenches, and environmental monitoring initiatives.
