Smithers Airport

Smithers Airport (IATA: YYD, ICAO: CYYD) is 2 nautical miles (3.7 km; 2.3 mi) north of Smithers, British Columbia, Canada. History A Yukon Airways and Exploration landing at Sproule's Ranch in 1928 was the first airplane arrival in the vicinity. This field was used for several years. In 1929, the Board of Trade purchased the Ed Hill Ranch a few miles south of Smithers, calling it the Smithers Aviation Park, comprising a 1,200-foot (370 m) runway. With financial assistance from the Department of National Defence, the project was completed in 1933. Owing to size limitations, the Department of National Defence rebuilt at the present location in 1942. Designated RCAF & D of T Aerodrome - Smithers, British Columbia at 54°49′N 127°09′W with a variation of 29 degrees E and elevation of 1,710 feet (521 m), the aerodrome was listed as having one runway as follows: After the war, the airport transferred to civilian use. In 1955, the runway was extended to 5,000 ft (1,524 m), and a new terminal opened in 1970. The Department of Transport transferred airport ownership to the town in 1999. Previously served by older generation Boeing 737 aircraft from the 1980s, an extension to 7,544 ft (2,299 m) in 2008 accommodates regional aircraft and other airplanes, as large as the Boeing 737. Completed in 2018, phase one of a four-phase terminal expansion increased energy efficiency and provided a 150-passenger lounge. Formerly with a 54-seating capacity, later phases of the $8m project will increase building space. As of 2025, runway data are as follows: Nav Canada Nav Canada operates a flight service station at Smithers Airport. Staffed hours of operations were cut on April 8, 2010 from 24 hours a day to 13 hours in the winter and 16 hours in the summer.

Geschichte Auf dem Gebiet des heutigen Flughafen bestanden Ende der 1930er Jahre nur wenige Gehöfte, als die kanadische Regierung Pläne für einen Luftwaffenstützpunkt hatte. Es war jedoch erst die im Zweiten Weltkrieg drohende Gefahr eines japanischen Angriffs, der dann den Aufbau eines militärischen Flughafens veranlasste. 1941 wurde in Tofino eine Staffel der Royal Canadian Air Force stationiert. Der Flughafen blieb als militärische Basis bis in die 1950er Jahre in Betrieb. Anschließend wurde er als ziviler Flughafen betrieben.Vor der Einrichtung eines Flughafens war der Zugang zu diesem Teil der Westküste Vancouver Island auf den Bootsverkehr beschränkt, da der Highway 4 nach Port Alberni auch erst 1959 eröffnet wurde.

Revelstoke Dam

Revelstoke Dam, also known as Revelstoke Canyon Dam, is a hydroelectric dam (combined earthfill dam and gravity dam) spanning the Columbia River, 5 km (3.1 mi) north of Revelstoke, British Columbia, Canada. The powerhouse was completed in 1984 and has an installed capacity of 2480 MW. Four generating units were installed initially, with one additional unit (#5) having come online in 2011. The reservoir behind the dam is named Lake Revelstoke. The dam is operated by BC Hydro. History Construction of Revelstoke Dam started in 1978, and was completed in 1983. Areas inundated by the dam include the Dalles des Morts or "Death Rapids", which was the stretch of canyon just above the dam's location, and various small localities along the pre-inundation route of the Big Bend Highway, which was the original route of the Trans-Canada Highway until the building of its Rogers Pass section. Just below the dam was the location of La Porte, one of the boomtowns of the Big Bend Gold Rush and the head of river navigation via the Arrow Lakes and the Columbia River from Marcus, Washington. Revelstoke Dam Visitor Centre The Revelstoke Dam Visitor Centre is located 5 km (3.1 mi) north of Revelstoke and is open seasonally. The centre features interactive exhibits, activities about the dam and hydroelectricity and a First Nations gallery opened in 2009, with exhibits about the art, history and culture of the Secwepemc (Shuswap), Okanagan and Ktunaxa peoples. Sinixt is not included in the exhibit, but the Revelstoke Dam is considered to fall within their territory. There is also a theatre, gift shop, and outdoor walkway across the top of the Powerhouse. Expansion BC Hydro completed an expansion to add a fifth unit. The unit went online in 2011 and added 500 MW capacity, bringing the total generating capacity of the dam to around 2480 MW. In 2009, the plant generated 6,361 GWh of electricity. By 2018, after the expansion, then plant generated 7,817 GWh of electricity. The dam was built to accommodate a sixth unit, also sized around 500 MW; a contingency plan to build the sixth unit is possible but not scheduled as of December 2018.

ГЕС Ревелсток

ГЕС Ревелсток — гідроелектростанція на південному заході Канади у провінції Британська Колумбія. Знаходячись між ГЕС Міка (вище по течії) та ГЕС Арроу-Лейк, входить до складу каскаду на річці Колумбія, яка починається у Канаді та має устя на узбережжі Тихого океану на межі штатів Вашингтон та Орегон. У межах проекту річку перекрили комбінованою бетонною/земляною гравітаційною греблею висотою 175 метрів та довжиною 1630 метрів. Створений нею підпір утворив витягнуте по долині річки на 130 км водосховище з площею поверхні 115 км2 та об'ємом 1,85 млрд м3, в якому припустиме коливання рівня під час операційної діяльності між позначками 555 та 573 метри НРМ. Втім, можливо відзначити, що фактичне коливання зазвичай значно менше, оскільки рівень намагаються тримати на максимальних позначках для забезпечення найбільшого напору та, відповідно, виробітку електроенергії. Пригреблевий машинний зал при введенні в експлуатацію у 1980-х роках обладнали чотирма турбінами типу Френсіс загальною потужністю 1980 МВт. При цьому проект ГЕС одразу розраховувався на шість гідроагрегатів, і в 2010-му стала до ладу п'ята турбіна, яка довела загальну потужність станції до 2480 МВт. Що стосується шостого агрегату, його збираються встановити до 2026 року, коли передбачається виведення на модернізацію чотирьох турбін ГЕС Міка. Обладнання станції Ревелсток використовує напір у 127 метрів та забезпечує виробництво 7,8 млрд кВт-год електроенергії на рік. Видача продукції відбувається під напругою 500 кВ. Примітки

Nanaimo station

Nanaimo is a partially elevated station on the Expo Line of Metro Vancouver's SkyTrain rapid transit system. The station is located on Nanaimo Street between Vanness Avenue and East 24th Avenue in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The station takes its name from Nanaimo Street, which is named after the city of Nanaimo on Vancouver Island. Situated on a hillcrest, the station provides riders with a view of the west side and Downtown Vancouver. History Nanaimo station was opened in 1985 as part of the original SkyTrain system (now known as the Expo Line). The Austrian architecture firm Architektengruppe U-Bahn was responsible for designing the station. The station is the westernmost station on the Expo Line that sits atop of the former Central Park Line of the British Columbia Electric Railway. This line formerly ran just west of Nanaimo station to where New Westminster station is located today. In 2002, Millennium Line service was introduced to the station, which provided outbound service to VCC–Clark station (originally Commercial Drive) via Columbia station in New Westminster. This service was discontinued and replaced with an Expo Line branch to Production Way–University station in 2016. In the fourth quarter of 2018, TransLink was scheduled to begin a major upgrade of the station's bus exchange and entrance plaza to "improve safety and comfort for [the station's] passengers and to prepare for future service expansions". Construction began on the expansion of the bus loop on January 4, 2019, and was scheduled to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2019. The completion date was later pushed back to early 2020. The bus loop was largely complete by July 9, 2020. Station information Entrances Nanaimo station is served by a single entrance located at the west end of that station. The entrance is accessible from Nanaimo Street, south of East 24th Avenue across the street from Vanness Avenue.

Joyce–Collingwood station

Joyce–Collingwood (formerly Joyce) is an elevated station on the Expo Line, a part of Metro Vancouver's SkyTrain rapid transit system. The station is located on Joyce Street at Vanness Avenue, in the Renfrew–Collingwood neighbourhood of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. History The station was designed by the Austrian architecture firm Architektengruppe U-Bahn and opened in 1985 as "Joyce station" on the original Expo Line. It replaced Joyce Loop, located 600 metres (2,000 ft) south at the intersection of Joyce Street and Kingsway, as the main transfer point for local transit services in the area. Trolley wires were extended to the station in early 1986 to bring trolley buses to the station's bus loop. The station is located on the former right-of-way once used by the British Columbia Electric Railway's Central Park Line; this line ran from just west of Nanaimo station to where New Westminster station is located. Formerly an industrial area, the immediate vicinity of this station has since been redeveloped as Collingwood Village, a denser community of high-rise condominiums. The "Collingwood" portion of the name was added in 2001 in an attempt to reflect the positive impact of SkyTrain on the surrounding community. As part of Expo Line upgrades, renovations on the station began in early 2016. Phase one of the project was completed on October 6, 2017; it included a replacement of the existing elevator, the installation of two new escalators at the east end of the platform to replace the original single one, and the improvement of the station design and integration with the surrounding community. Phase two renovations began in early 2018 and were completed on June 15, 2019. Services The station connects to a number of TransLink bus routes serving eastern Vancouver, Burnaby, and North Vancouver. It is one of the termini for the R4 41st Ave RapidBus service, which replaced the 43 express route that ran west from this station to the University of British Columbia on January 6, 2020. Station information Entrances West entrance : located on the west side of Joyce Street, in the centre of the bus loop. The entrance is fully accessible with an elevator and an up escalator. East entrance : located on the east side of Joyce Street, on the opposite side of the bus loop. The entrance is also fully accessible, including up and down escalators, an elevator, and a staircase. This entrance serves the passenger drop-off area. Transit connections Joyce–Collingwood station provides a partial off-street transit exchange at the intersection of Joyce Street and Vanness Avenue.
