To help reduce the amount of time flying and unnecessary consumption of fuel we have 3 remote fuel caches strategically placed throughout our heliski tenure. We have taken all necessary precautions to help protect the areas that surround our fuel tanks.

All our tanks are double-walled Enviro Tanks. These tanks were custom-made for us and can hold up to 50,000L of jet fuel. Each tank is a double walled container which means that there is essentially a tank within a tank. The outer tank is capable of holding 110% of the maximum contents of the inner tank. In case of a rupture from the inside tank, the outer tanks integrity remains intact. In case of a rupture from the outside the outer tank acts as a buffer between the inner tank and the fuel. The tanks are all equipped with anti-siphon valves which prevent the tank from draining itself if a shut off valve was to be left open or a failure within the dispensing system was to occur. Shut off valves provide an extra layer of security. Our tanks contain 5 layers of security to prevent fuel leaking from the dispensing system.

The fuel pumps are specifically designed to be explosion proof with auto shut off timers, which protect against accidental drainage. When not in use, our pump boxes are locked to protect against vandalism. As regulated by Federal Law in Canada, we monitor our pumps once every 30 days to ensure that no accidental leaks have occurred during the summer months. In the unlikely event of a fuel spill, TLH Heliskiing has an emergency fuel spill response plan which includes the resources of an emergency response team that has considerable experience handling large scale fuel spills. The team is located in Vancouver and can be at our tanks within 1hour via helicopter.

Our jet fuel is tanked in during the summer when the roads are the safest for travel. The fuel trucks are driven by experienced bush drivers only and every precaution is taken to ensure safe delivery. All our tanks are equipped with spill barrels, fire extinguishers and spill kits.
