This location is private property and is not open to public access at any time, please do not attempt to visit.
This place caught my eye as soon as we were rolling into town. This is an abandoned work camp, built as a town for an oil company. All under one roof, this facility has everything necessary to live comfortably and happy. There is a large industrial kitchen, leisure rooms, sauna, gymnasium, fitness gym, squash courts, movie theatre and hundreds of rooms. There is also a medical facility full of equipment and supplies, as well as its own power generation capabilities. This is similar to a large work camp today, but this one is in a fixed location on stilts. Being on stilts, it is very well protected from rot, rodents and the elements, so even after having been abandoned for decades, it is in immaculate condition. Typically, even after several years, abandoned buildings begin to deteriorate quickly, and foul odour is the first sign. This whole facility smells fresh and clean. Luckily it is very remote, so has seen very little vandalism, I hope it will remain the same.

This was the base camp for a company called Dome Petroleum. I worked here in the late 70’s. I wish you had some lighting as I would have really liked to see more than just the dark.

@ronrentenaar2303 3 дня назад

Marvellous! During the camp’s heyday, the early 1980s, it was run like a 4-star hotel. The cafeteria had the best chefs serving the best in food. Food being the best way to keep up morale and Tuk being more isolated back then than now. The “Golden Mile”, the long corridor that ran from the accommodations to the offices in the back connected everything. The office area, which you really didn’t show, was the original camp from the 70s before the new accommodations in front were added. The large centre warehouse, only seen in the drone footage, was like a Canadian Tire store, stocked with everything imaginable. Beside the big electricity generating plant, was the sewage treatment plant. The dock, not shown, would have been where the icebreakers would come in for fuel and supplies. By 1987, Dome Petroleum was sold to Amoco Oil Company of the U.S. They moved all the drillrigs and ships to the American Beaufort Sea.

Those fire sprinklers are referenced as GB or Glass Bulb. If you review your footage, you will see an air bubble inside the red fluid. The red fluid indicates that the sprinkler will activate at 155 degrees F. But the bubble size is what actually determines the temp, when heat collects near the sprinkler, the bubble expands and will shatter the glass bulb at 155 F. Once that happens, the pressure inside the piping system pushes the seat or seal out to allow water to flow. Older sprinklers used solder and were called solder link sprinklers that melted at preset temps. Solder link Standard temps were indicated by no paint for 165F White indicates 212F Blue indicates 286F Glass bulb temps are colored liquid: Red - 155F Yellow - 175F Green - 200F Blue - 286F

I was a helicopter mechanic worked for Dome in Tuk . We lived in that camp and worked in the large Blue hangar at the airport. The employees were international.

Many offshore drilling ships work boats ice breakers and fleets of aircraft. Thanks for showing this I think I saw my room!

It’s absolutely incredible to me how wasteful our economy can be building such an amazing structure and just abandoning it without repurposing the building. It seems as though the place was still somewhat occupied in 2001. You have a way of digging in and exploring and sometimes exposingour waist. Just imagine if they had turned the facility over to the locals to develop as a community center would we have seen the kind of destruction? I simply imagine it is a tax write off. Keep exploring you’re doing a great job.

Just for reference, those white barrels labeled "Dowfrost" (55 gals) COST $750 US currently, and I bet they're expensive to ship up there to the arctic circle. It's essentially a heat transfer fluid, often used for closed loop heating systems, so likely that was the "water replacement" for the boiler/radiator heating system for the facility, and maybe used as antifreeze for vehicles? I would be curious if the towns people could utilize that material for their community facilities, or if it would be seen as "wrong" spiritually for them to use somebody else's property, even if it has been left behind for years...Maybe mention what you found to the town elders, so at least they know what's there,,,Maybe the townspeople can get some of the facilities up and running for the townspeople to fix up and utilize. You're right, it's a shame to have that stuff (and the building) rot away.

@grantharding5129 4 дня назад

You are right it was quite the place to be when Dome Petroleum was at it's peak. I stayed in that camp a few times, I was with Northwestel out of Inuvik. The Canadian tax payer paid for a lot of that through Pierre Trudeaus NEB program of tax incentives. The amount of waist was mind boggling. When the tax incentives ceased the company failed really quickly. The steel caison you filmed last week was Esso Petroleum and I believe it was too damaged to float out. The other big player was Gulf Oil (Beaudril) and their camp was newer and I believe it was sold to a local contractor. The camps were very expensive to run and a community like Tuk really doesn't have the resourses or the need of the camps.

I looked up Dome Petroleum, looks like it went broke. The company had lost 80% of its value. After years of death throes, it was taken over by the American oil giant Amoco Petroleum in 1988. It was the biggest corporate failure in Canada up to that point and still ranks alongside later cases like telecoms company Nortel and retailer Eaton’s as a historic Canadian corporate collapse.

That place is amazing, I hope someone from the town is able to rehab and make good use of it before it’s too late . Nice that you videoed the place Spectacular Good job

Hey Dustin, our family is a big fan of the show, i showed this episode to my dad who built the racquet ball court you kind of showed ( maybe a fund raiser for a new light :-) , It would have been nice if the locals could have used it, what a waste, keep up the good work , looking forward to your next adventure.

Surprising to me how good of shape the place is in. Seems like an awful waste of resources. Love the video as always!

The sprinkler heads you found are a valve. The valve is closed when the glass is intact ready to put out a fire since the pipe system they are attached to is pressurized all the time. When it gets hot enough for the glass to break and sprays water. When I was with the fire department we would practice stopping these with wood wedges if we couldn't turn off the water supply. Never could get them completely turned off but reduced the flow. You see these in movies going off only with smoke. There are other types that can be controlled with electric valves but the kind you found need heat to trigger. They obviously had their own infirmary and dentistry setup for the workers. The gray cases you saw, one on the counter and one in the cabinet are portable suction machines. We used these when I worked ambulance in the early 80's and had them in the ER when I worked there as well to have on hand when transporting patients to the floor.

Very interesting, Dustin! Isn’t it a shame that the company, even now, can’t gift so many of the items to the people of the community…towels, kitchen supplies, washing machines & dryers, pool table, bed frames, etc. etc. And it’s another look at the past - even as recent as this operation was. Thanks for checking out this abandoned site!

I am certain that if anybody in that community wanted that stuff they would just take it, there is nobody protecting that facility.

Those flat boxes that carry photograph paper are an artist’s wet dream!😂 We can carry delicate art by taping the artwork to the bottom and taping the lid on! I used to go to a local photo shop and he’d give me all his boxes……..

Love this part of your adventure. I wish those folks in that town would somehow take the stuff and use the wood etc to fix up their homes or repurpose the building and make apartments or something. It is not right for the town folks not to be able to take as others have said eminent domain.

@FarrellMcGovern 4 дня назад

Those red balls were for a game called Snooker, while that 2 ball is for a game called Eight Ball. Billiards, when not used just as general term for all games on a pool table is a specific game that uses just three balls, one red and two white balls, one of which has a black dot on it. My dad managed poolhalls for years while I was growing up, so I know far too much about the game.

On your way home, Pink Mountain has some pretty nice views. Do alot of hunting up there if you can get ontop of the actual mountain weve had cariboo heards running alongside us and seen sheep and goats! Aswell as ptarmigan getting blown across the top of the mountain! One of which made a great meal lol.

Dustin hi from Calgary. Thanks for taking me to Tuk which has always been on my list. While not exactly as good as experiencing it in person you do such an excellent job of covering it I'm more than satisfied. Looking fwd to the drive South.

What a great video! I hope someone sees this and is motivated to make it a destination for the tourists! Use what you got! Thank you Dustin, these abandoned places are my favorite videos, mixed with the beautiful landscapes. 😁 14:27 its just a valve. The heat from the fire breaks the vile and the water begins to flow. Simple engineering to turn on the water just where its needed. 😊 *edit* see another comment on the topic for details from a sprinkler expert.

@ParadoxdesignsOrg 4 дня назад

my dad used to fly miners in and out of these camps in the 90's. it's crazy how much money would be invested in them and then just completely abandoned. I actually slept on a captains bed he pulled out of one of these camps throughout my teenage years. lol

@arnicus208 4 дня назад

In those sprinklers, the fluid in the glass vial is heat sensitive. The vial is the valve holding the water back; when it reaches the set temperature, the vial basically explodes/shatters, allowing water to flow. It’s pretty darn loud if you use a torch on a work bench to test how it works. Don’t ask how I know. Dustin, you really need a much more powerful light for the kinds of places you often explore. Too many times, all we get to see is a black screen while hearing you say how awesome what you’re seeing is. It will really benefit your channel. This place was amazing!

Unless I'm mistaken, that's the old Dome petroleum base camp. I was there in 1980. The facilities were awesome and the food was gourmet quality. Too bad they just abandoned it. In the day it was state of the art. Sad to see it left this way. The locals could have made use of much of the equipment.

Good Saturday morning everyone! Well I was in awe watching this one Dustin, you are so respectful of things you find and putting stuff back ! But what a waste of perfectly reusable things ! As one follower wrote the community could very well use a lot of it and a head scratcher that the oil company wouldn’t have had a security guard up there? I would have gotten cabin fever for sure lol your grandma must have cringed seeing all that photography paper! Thanks again for the journey and looking forward to Wednesday’s adventure! Stay safe to you and Emi👍🇨🇦
