Bulldozer clearing campsite for use during repair to the Kemano-Kitimat transmission line. British Columbia.
In January, 1955, heavy snowslides from the rim of Glacier Creel Bowl wiped out three towers and damaged others in Kemano-Kitimat transmission line. The solution was to eliminate all towers for a span of about 7,000 feet by lifting this section of both transmission lines by a cross-catenary system of steel cables, suspended from anchorages high on the mountains. Temporary helicopter landings were established in snow slopes at elevations 4700 and 4100 near proposed catenary anchorages.
