Operations start at truck weighing facility

First truck monitoring campaigns have been conducted at the temporary truck weighing station at Rajbandh final disposal site.

In environmental management, we often talk about BAD – Best Available Data, knowing that available data is often of poor quality and unreliable. Our temporary truck weighing station at the entrance of the Rajbandh final disposal site is making BAD better!

For the first time, we can accurately determine waste quantities that are collected by KCC trucks and disposed of at the Rajbandh site. In July and October 2024, two measuring campaigns took place, monitoring the weight of trucks and generating over 400 data points. Currently, we are evaluating the results and blending the data with existing information from previous investigations in the project.
