UNDERGROUND AND ABOVE-GROUND COMPLEX FOR WASTE MANAGEMENT
Abstract
The article covers relevant topics: utilization and recycling of solid household waste and industrial
slag waste. The object of the project study is an underground and above-ground waste management
complex.
The concept of an underground waste management complex has been formulated, with the
functions of sorting, burning, and utilization of municipal solid waste. A technological chain, built
vertically downwards with the possibility of returning upward in the form of energy or pressed bales
for the sale of raw materials, is proposed. Solar panels are suggested to be used to produce electricity,
which adds up to the overall energy balance of the complex. For the reservation and conservation
of electricity, gravitational energy-accumulating elements are designed, allowing to supplement up
to the required amount of electricity at the right time.
The construction technology of the complex is based on two inventions: “Method of forming
reinforced concrete products by means of lowering concrete” and “Method of building an underground
multi-storey structure”. This technology allows you to build to a depth of 100 meters down,
and from the depth of 25 meters it becomes a single option. All work on the production of the monolithic
frame are performed on the surface of the earth. The geo-massif is fixed by horizontal ground anchorage
and vertical bore piling with cable anchors. The result is the economic and technological efficiency.
The innovative technology allows you to build not only underground, but also above-ground
structures, and is also applicable to the construction of block-rooms residential buildings.
