The approximately 3.8-hectare old landfill is located in the south of Hamburg in the Elbmarsch area. The old landfill was covered up a few years ago to secure it. The area is currently fallow.
A subsequent utilisation by a depot is currently being considered. To this end, M&P prepared a variant study on the remediation and utilisation of the old landfill. The variant study was intended to serve as a general assessment of the redevelopment feasibility of the old landfill, including an implementation concept for subsequent reutilisation as a depot and the creation of a current cost framework.
Together with the client, various remediation options were determined and evaluated by M&P. As there was a major lack of information regarding the geotechnical suitability of the in-situ soils and the chemical composition of the landfill material, small pile-driving boreholes, dynamic probing and pressure probing were carried out on site in autumn 2022 and soil samples were chemically and geotechnically analysed. M&P drew up the occupational safety plan for the work, accompanied the tendering process for the field and laboratory work and provided expert advice on the field work.
The feasibility study was then updated with regard to the refurbishment options and the cost framework in order to provide the client with a decision-making basis for further planning.
