Update Released On Kerdiffstown Park Development

Construction News Image
Kildare County Council has issued a further update on the works at the Kerdiffstown Park Development.

The majority of the remediation tasks were finished ahead of schedule by the close of 2023, with only a few remaining. The final assessment and testing of the landfill infrastructure are currently underway throughout the first and second quarters of 2024. This last stage is prolonged due to the complexity of the work involved. To assist in this process, we have procured an independent gas specialist to help us with the management of the landfill gas (LFG) and to assist the contractors own landfill gas specialist.

As a remediated landfill site, Kildare County Council has ongoing environmental management and monitoring systems in place, these will be part of the future management of the site, to ensure the protection of public health and the local environment.

The remediation works which were carried out involved capping the site with an impermeable cap, the installation of 87 new gas wells, connection to a gas flare, and associated infrastructure. The efficient management of the landfill gas generated on site involves balancing the gas extracted from all gas wells across the site to ensure that gas generated in the field is captured. The gas is then transported, burned off in the flare and emissions are maintained in accordance with the EPA licence for the site. The Council have been working to increase the efficient extraction of landfill gas (LFG) whilst identifying any snagging in the infrastructure since the end of last year.

This type of work takes time and any modifications to the landfill gas collection system necessitate thorough monitoring to guarantee proper operation, an ongoing task. Delivery of a new low-calorific flare is scheduled for this month, aiding in continuous management efforts.
