Landfill Airspace Usage Estimator
Project daily and annual airspace consumption plus nominal remaining life from entered averages.
What would you like to do next?
Translate disposed mass into a transparent airspace rate
Enter remaining airspace, average disposed tonnes per operating day, compacted density, cover and operational allowance, and days per year. The estimator divides mass by density, applies the additional airspace share and projects daily, annual and nominal remaining-life values.
Base capacity forecasts on surveys and permitted geometry
Waste mix, density, settlement, daily cover, intermediate cover, roads, drainage and cell shape change through time. Remaining permitted airspace must come from controlled survey surfaces and design boundaries. Use current weighbridge records, topographic models, engineering forecasts and environmental approvals before reporting site life.
Frequently asked questions
How is waste airspace calculated?
Daily tonnes are divided by entered compacted density.
Where is cover included?
The entered percentage is added to waste airspace as an allowance.
Is the result a permitted capacity statement?
No. Permitted capacity requires controlled survey and engineering records.
