Floating covers in the mining industry serve to contain and manage liquids, such as leach solutions or tailings ponds. These covers, typically made of geotextile liners, create a barrier that prevents the escape of liquids into the surrounding environment.
By floating on the surface of the liquid, they provide effective containment, prevent wildlife access, and help control water quality. This method is essential for environmental compliance, reducing the risk of contamination and ensuring responsible mining practices.
