Systems, methods, and apparatus for servicing landfill conduits are
disclosed. These systems, methods, and apparatus employ structures which
facilitate access to and the servicing of buried landfill conduits, for
example, one or more buried landfill laterals. In one aspect, the systems
include an enclosure, at least one inlet conduit passing into the
enclosure, at least one outlet conduit passing out of the enclosure, and
at least one service conduit having a valve and an access port positioned
between the inlet conduit and the outlet conduit. In another aspect,
methods and portable apparatuses are provided for introducing
high-pressure fluids or vacuum to a landfill conduit, for example, by
means of the access port in the service conduit, to remove or dislodge
obstructions. Conduits connected to blowers and pumps are used to
introduce or withdraw fluids from the landfill conduits, for example,
from predetermined locations within the landfill conduits identified by
remote sensing devices.
