Ice Loading on the Nanisivik Naval Facility (148770)
Proposal Status: Conformity Determination Issued
Project Overview
Type of application: New
Proponent name: Jeffrey Brown
Company: National Research Council of Canada
Schedule:
Start Date: 2018-06-01
End Date: 2018-06-08
Operation Type: Annual
Project Description:
Purpose – We aim to study the ice loads on the deep water harbor at Nanisivik and compare the load measurements with the movement of the ice bustle against the harbour with tidal action. Goals & objectives – measure loads, measure the ice bustle and observe the movement of the bustle under tidal action. Method of transportation – We will communicate with the local hunters and trappers association to arrange for transportation and wildlife monitoring. Any structures that will be erected (permanent / temporary) – All equipment is part of the Nanisivik Naval Facility and has been installed as part of that Construction. Equipment to measure the ice profile will consist of pylons, tripods, poles and is will be retrieved. Restoration / abandonment plans – The load monitoring system is part of the Naval Facility and as such is accounted for in their long term retrieval plans. All ice profile equipment will be retrieved from the site at the completion of our work.
