Landfills are often suitable sites for wind turbines due to the availability of space and the topography, but place special demands on the foundations of the wind turbines.

The usually inadequately documented, heterogeneous structure of landfills requires special approaches to subsoil exploration.

Due to the settlement-prone materials often found in landfills, which can still have a tendency to settle considerably due to decomposition processes, standard foundations are generally ruled out.

In addition, the foundations must be integrated into the landfill sealing system.
