What is TIEROC?

TIEROC is an engineered construction aggregate substitute. The engineered sizing of this product establishes a permeable and consistent road base that allows for efficient maneuverability within a landfill. This translates into productive turnaround times allowing more tons per hour into the facility. When the material has reached its lifecycle, it will then recover benefits for the landfill with long-term, consistent gas production.

What is Alternative Daily Cover (ADC) for Landfills?

Alternative Daily Cover (ADC) refers to material—other than soil—that is placed over the active face of a municipal solid waste landfill at the end of each operating day. ADC helps control odors, blowing litter, scavenging, pests, and fire risk.

TIEROC is a modern ADC solution made from clean, recycled wood. Unlike traditional stone or mixed debris, TIEROC is engineered for performance, affordability, and sustainability. It supports landfill gas (LNG) production, and offers significantly more coverage per dollar—making it a smarter alternative to soil, rock, or waste-based filler.
