Escalating leachate levels were pushing a New South Wales landfill toward critical storage limits, increasing the likelihood of environmental and regulatory exposure. Without decisive volume reduction, the site risked overflow events, regulatory breaches and costly operational disruption that could undermine long-term management confidence.

Multiple landfill sites in Saudi Arabia were experiencing rising leachate volumes that exceeded available storage and strained compliance obligations across the network. With inflows driven by waste composition, climate and operational activity, the operator struggled to maintain safe levels, creating escalating environmental risk and narrowing day-to-day operating flexibility.

Residue areas at a Western Australia alumina refinery began to accumulate water faster than the site could safely manage, narrowing operating margins and increasing pressure on containment structures. As levels continued to rise, the refinery faced mounting production risk and closer regulatory scrutiny, with uncontrolled accumulation threatening both day-to-day continuity and long-term environmental compliance.
