English

Subject field(s)
  • Dredging
CONT

The mining dredges were land-locked floating machines, digging the ponds that allowed them to float - and thus move - across the area to be mined. The floating dredge most commonly operated in the North was the California-type, also known as bucket-line dredge. This type of dredge used a continuous line of buckets (called the "digging ladder") to scrape the bottom and edge of the pond.

CONT

Parks Canada is issuing a Call for Tenders for the supply, fabrication and installation of a new foundation for the digging ladder at Dredge no. 4 National Historic Site of Canada in Dawson City, Yukon.

CONT

The depth of digging is controlled by changing the angle of the digging ladder through a running rigging system extending from a winch on the port side.

PHR

Floating deep-digging ladder dredge.

The Northern Research Institute, announced in 1989, opened at the Ayamdigut Campus of Yukon College in 1992, after several years of planning. Initially supported by assistance from the Donner Canada Foundation, the NRI's creation allowed Yukon College to formalize its institutional commitment to research. The Institute was conceived as a northern centre to promote, co-ordinate, and undertake research activities that compliment the College's goal to pursue excellence in all areas of Yukon and Northern Studies.
