For landfill managers and owners, airspace is their most valuable commodity. Most modern landfills have some sort of development plan (i.e., fill sequence plan) that lay out where and how to build the landfill cel However, both of these types of plans are complex engineering drawings, which may be challenging for equipment operators and landfill crews to understand. Practical tools – such as 3D images, equipment-based GPS systems, and virtual reality – can help bridge the gap between complex engineering concepts and help operators and crews member visualize what they are building.
