A temporary cover should be durable, impermeable, and easy to install and remove. A temporary cover's primary goal is to prevent water from entering the mining area, especially during periods of precipitation. An impermeable cover helps control water flow, minimize erosion, and prevent the introduction of water into the mining equipment. This cover material should also be durable and stable to withstand the harsh conditions and physical stresses that come with mining activities. Covers will need to be designed to withstand the impact of heavy machinery, vehicular traffic, and exposure to abrasive materials. Since the cover is temporary, it'll also need to be relatively easy to install and remove. Flexbility and simplicity in installation allow for efficient deployment and removal when required.
A sustainable approach in mining operations involves considering the environmental impact of temporary covers. Ideally, the cover material used should be reusable or recyclable, minimizing waste generation and promoting responsible resource management.
