  2. TFS Maintenance Highlights • New Garage! • Improved camp fuel and power efficiency by consolidating many uses to one building • Warm storage moved to Garage, Dry Lab shut down. • All equipment maintenance moved to Garage, no heat usage in Tire Shop, Tool Trailer, Loader Tent, Snowmachine / Bike shop. • Garage primarily runs off of waste heat from generators, with other buildings shut down it saved 562 gallons of heating oil this quarter • Net power usage increased by 1936 KW/Hr, converts to 161 gallons of fuel for a total net savings of 401 gallons of fuel • Allows for detailed winter maintenance of equipment • Most maintenance & science support equipment based out of one building and nearby Connex – tools, generators, augers, snowmachines, etc.

  3. TFS Maintenance Highlights • Dalton Hwy flooding and closure a major but successful challenge to camp maintenance, primarily waste water evacuation • Fiber upgrade – Winter Lab, GIS, Well House, Lab 4, Dry Lab, Wet Lab, D-shack B, and Lab 6 & 7 are now on a fiber optic backhaul, eliminating the wireless bottleneck • Addition to Health Club building • Additional square footage allows for weight room, treadmill, elliptical, and flexible floor space • Propane fired heating system replaced electric heat, saving 3000 KW/Hrs. Equals 250 gallons of fuel, which is how much propane we used this quarter to heat roughly three times the square footage • New commercial duty treadmill and elliptical • New science truck and leased UAF stakebed truck.

  4. TFS Science Support Highlights • Did we mention the garage? • Increasing demand for snowmachines and augers during the spring season, adding to the fleet as funding allows • Off season support for autonomous and overwintering projects remains abundant • Support for Obrist/Helmig, MacIntyre, Conde, AON, Deegan, Hampton, Stanford, Georgia Tech, and more. 84 winter requests for 18 different funded projects • Upgraded boat docks – dock repair and reconfiguration for easier docking and better weather protection • Usual suite of summer season science support projects – including fabrication, field support, technical support, and equipment repair. 216 summer requests for 51 different funded projects
