Landair Surveys has supported Werribee Landfill operations for over 25 years, addressing complex challenges with innovative solutions. Key contributions include creating an archive of 25 whole-site aerial ortho-images spanning from 1997 to 2024, providing invaluable historical data for site management and decision-making.
To support Cell 5 – the largest landfill cell constructed in Victoria as of 2020 – Landair conducted weekly drone flyovers to monitor material volumes and optimise stockpile management. Additionally, Landair integrated decades of disparate data sets into a unified composite base for methane gas well drilling, ensuring accurate depth pegging to protect cell floor liners. These solutions enhance operational efficiency, safety and environmental compliance.
