The R.I.G. is a durable, reusable daily cover system designed for landfills. Built from rugged steel panels, it provides full-coverage protection for the active face, blocks pests, prevents rain and snow from reaching the waste, and enhances fire safety—all while saving time, labor, and valuable airspace.

The R.I.G. was engineered by brothers Scott and Brett Renaud, experienced landfill operators who faced firsthand the challenges of traditional soil cover. Drawing on their real-world experience, they designed a system that improves efficiency, reduces costs, and extends landfill life.

Yes. The system is officially approved by the British Columbia Ministry of Environment and endorsed by Dr. Tony Sperling, P.Eng., a recognized authority in landfill engineering. It is recognized as a Best Management Practice for daily cover in BC.

The system is ideal for:

• Municipal or regional landfill authorities

• Private waste management companies

• Large-scale commercial or industrial landfills

• Environmental and engineering firms specifying cover solutions

Compared to traditional dirt cover:

• Preserves airspace

• Reduces labor and equipment runtime

• Minimizes fuel consumption

• Cuts down daily deployment time from over an hour to 15–20 minutes

• Supports efficient compaction and better site control

• Panels feature integrated T-hooks for loader or excavator placement.

• Lightweight yet stable panels stay in place, even in high winds.

• Panels stack neatly for compact storage and fast redeployment.

• Optional containment logs help define the active face and maintain slope control.

Yes. The system performs in all seasons, including winter. Snow can be easily cleared from panels during pickup with no damage or downtime. Its durability ensures consistent performance regardless of weather conditions.

Absolutely. The R.I.G.:

• Produces zero waste over decades of use

• Reduces leachate runoff by protecting the landfill from rain and snow

• Prevents unnecessary soil usage, preserving airspace for revenue-generating waste

Yes. Each system can be tailored to your site’s specific needs. Contact us to discuss your requirements and receive a turn-key solution designed for your operation.

Every system comes with delivery and on-site operator training, ensuring a smooth transition and immediate operational benefits from day one.

• Deployment time reduced from 90 minutes to 15–20 minutes per day

• Significant reduction in pests such as ravens and rodents

• Recognized as a best practice by regulatory authorities

• Currently in use at ~20 landfills across British Columbia, Yukon, and Alberta

Yes, the R.I.G. is 100% metal and will not burn. It also helps prevent fire by covering landfill material, as well as separating fire from its main fuel: oxygen.
