Mineral layers and components of the urban and industrial solid waste containment systems are presented in this paper. Toe natural soils used and the several tasks the mineral components perform in the landfills (foundation layers, boundary and internal berms, mineral barriers of containment systems, drainage layers, filters, cover layers, protection layers for geosynthetics, etc.) are also described. Technical specifications normally required for construction of these components are detailed, making reference to the applicable legislation. Finally, construction quality assurance activities regarding the natural soil components are briefly described , pointing up those related to compacted clay liners.
