What Type of Cover System is
Suitable for My Site?
The most effective cover system depends on your site's risks, climate, and closure objectives. Okane's Cover System Calculator helps you identify cover system options tailored to your site and provides a practical starting point for detailed design and further assessment, whether you're in the early stages of mine and closure planning or simply exploring your options.

What Type of Cover System Does My Site Need?
Select which primary closure risk your cover system intends to control
What is the primary objective of your cover system?
What is the major climate zone of your site?
Warm year‑round with seasons defined mostly by rainfall. Sub‑types include: rainforest, monsoon, and savannah climates. For example, northern and central Brazil are tropical rainforest and savannah, as well as nearly all of Indonesia, central Africa, and northern Australia like the Darwin region.
Very dry regions that can be extremely hot or surprisingly cold. Sub-types include: hot desert, cold desert, and hot or cold steppe climates. For example, nearly all of Saudi Arabia is hot desert climate, as well as central Australia, northern Chile, southern Mongolia, southeastern Spain, and central and eastern Turkiye.
Moderate climates with noticeable seasons; summers and winters vary depending on rainfall patterns. Sub‑types include: areas with dry summers, dry winters, or no dry season — each ranging from hot to cool summers. For example, the Pacific coast of Canada and Uniter States have different subranges of temperate climates, nearly all of New Zealand is temperate, as well as southern Brazil, central Chile, western Turkiye, and most of coastal and northern Spain.
Long, cold winters and short summers, with strong seasonal differences. Sub-types include: regions with dry summers, dry winters, or no dry season, plus a range of summer temperatures from hot to very cool, and winters that can be extremely cold. For example, most of central and northern Canada has cold climate, in the United States most northern inner states and Alaska has cold climate, most of Sweden and Mongolia, as well as eastern Turkiye and southern Chile.
Consider a Protection Cover System
A practical cover system design to consider is a simple protection cover system, which helps with diverting clean water and reducing the volume of impacted surface water managed on site.
