Access Development
TNDC, alongside our partners, leads in infrastructure development and route planning to access mine sites and ore deposits, both on the surface and underground.
Our scope includes building roads, declines and tunnels.
Through our Tahltan-Procon and Barminco partnerships, we possess extensive expertise in designing, supplying and installing essential infrastructure tailored for these environments. This includes primary and secondary ventilation systems, heating solutions, process water management, dewatering systems, mine power infrastructure, and other critical mine services.
TNDC provides extensive overburden removal and material compaction, underscoring our expertise in managing complex construction landscapes.
Emergency Fire Services
In collaboration with Newmont, TNDC has received training to offer emergency fire services at the Dease Lake Airport. An on-site first responder truck and a compressed air foam (CAFS) vehicle are ready to swiftly respond to any potential aircraft emergency.
Regional Fuel Operations
TNDC’s Jet A fuel operations at the Dease Lake Airport supports medical evacuations, workforce transportation flights for the mining sector, firefighting and other chartered aircraft, providing a dedicated fuel source.
TNDC’s 100LL fuel operations serve small general aviation traffic visiting and passing through the Territory to Yukon and Alaska, on behalf of Stikine Airport Society.
Aviation Services History
Our Aviation Services has become an increasingly strategic and important area of TNDC’s business. Launched in 2020, TNDC has taken the lead on improving this vital community infrastructure to better serve health, medevac flights, emergency responders, industry and in future, residents.
Dease Lake Airport is now a significantly enhanced airport facility with year-round, 24/7 operational capabilities. We have significantly reduced medevac times, from 20.5 hours to 5.3. In addition, we have improved air access to Dease Lake and the surrounding communities, for mineral exploration, mine development, mining and industrial sectors; as well as improving wildfire suppression and emergency response capabilities.
In 2023, TNDC partnered with Executive Flight Services to provide onsite leadership with oversight and development of the airport and TNDC crews.
