Therefore, in the waste disposal facility, there are many complaints from local residents who are concerned about the problem of environmental degradation due to the generation of bad odors. In view of these points, recently, the construction of closed type controlled waste disposal facilities is increasing. The method of such a management-type disposal facility is as follows: (1) Laying a sheet on the ground surface
A method of treating wastewater so that the wastewater discharged from here does not mix with the groundwater. (2) Also, in areas where the site area is limited, an impermeable wall is built up to the impermeable layer on the ground to form a space inside. After that, a sheet is put on the bottom and the wall surface, and the waste is landfilled in this and the waste water is treated.

い。In this way, the waste is carried into the disposal facility and disposed of. In the so-called closed type disposal facility, which separates the waste landfill site from the outside world by the cover and the water shield as in these disposal facilities, Most of them are of roof type, and in this roof type disposal facility, a frame such as a truss structure is assembled to the roof part of the structure with steel frames, and then a roof such as a sheet or folded plate is hung on it. There are many.
