Abstract
The British Columbia Transmission Corporation (BCTC) was interested in determining the maximum pile height that can be burned under its transmission lines. When burning these debris piles the maximum temperatures must not exceed 90oC two metres below the line. BCTC asked FPInnovations to develop a methodology to capture a temperature profile and then collect temperature profiles above burning piles of various heights.
