Developed by Golder Associates on behalf of the Environment Agency (England and Wales), the industry standard 'Sim' software range includes LandSim and GasSim - for landfill performance assessment with respect to groundwater/surface water impacts and gas generation and migration, respectively - and ConSim, which assesses the potential impacts of contaminated land to groundwater/surface water.

Obtained detailed knowledge of the software, its use and its analytical processes;

Completed hands-on workshops - providing practical tuition in the use of LandSim v2.5, ConSim v2 and GasSim v2 (using both simulated and real data).
