Temporary containment options during winter often focus on creating a stable, leak-resistant holding area until conditions improve for permanent work or land application. Portable above-ground tanks are a common choice because they can be set up quickly and provide dependable storage without relying on frozen soil.
Some operations use short-term lined stockpile pads or emergency basins fitted with flexible synthetic liners that perform well even in cold temperatures. These liners provide a protective layer between stored material and the ground, limiting seepage when the soil is too hard or unstable to absorb moisture safely. Modular berm systems can also offer quick containment by creating a controlled space for runoff or excess liquid.
