The cableway consists of two right-hand curves and one left-hand curve. Zingrich Cabletrans AG demonstrates its expertise with this cableway featuring curves in both directions. More images

The outdated ski jumping facility was replaced by a new, modern 106-meter ski jump. As part of the overall project, the 27-meter and 72-meter jumps were also renovated.

The profile adjustments on the large jump required significant earthworks. In addition to supplying the construction site, the material cableway was able to handle the earthworks with ease.

The 3.5-ton material cableway was ideal for ensuring material supply across the entire construction site. More images

The Pissevache power plant was first commissioned in 1898. Since 1997, the power plant has been temporarily decommissioned.

After several years of inactivity, the power plant was completely renovated and brought back into operation.

For the construction site supply, a material cableway with a load capacity of 10 tons was required. More images

For the replacement of a new pressure pipeline for a power plant of the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB), a 12-ton material cableway war required for the dismantling and subsequent installation of the new pressure pipeline. More images

A material ropeway will be used to replace the pressure line between Condémines and Pèroua. The cable car system has a payload of 25 tonnes. The pressure pipes with a diameter of up to 3.15 m can be comfortably moved with the material ropeway. The cable car system is equipped with 2 motorized cable cranes which are suspended one behind the other and logically connected to each other. Here we have a redundant system in use that can be relied upon. More images

For the construction of the visionary V-Bahn, a material ropeway is being used to access the high-mountain construction site on the Eiger Glacier. The material ropeway has a payload of 6 tons and forms an important link in the logistics chain of the entire construction site. The material ropeway brings the material just in time to the narrow construction site Eigergletscher. The availability of the material ropeway is essential for the sometimes very large concrete stages. More images

Between Moutier and Delémont, the main road runs closely parallel to the Birs River.

For the renovation and expansion of the rockfall protection net, the material cableway was used to supply the entire construction site. Transport capacity was clearly secondary for this cableway. Installing the cableway along the heavily trafficked main road required the highest level of skill from the installers. In the very rugged terrain, all materials were transported comfortably to their point of use. More images

The veteran hydro power line in Ried Mörel had a leak and had to be replaced.

This renovation project had to take into consideration some very important issues about the economical factors and exploitation of the land and environment. The material cable car and ropeway system we erected had a transport capacity of three tonnes and resulted in a very low impact on the landscape. More pictures

The “La Vièze” hydropower plant in Monthey and its pressure pipelines were completely renewed. The pipeline route crosses a cantonal road, a railway line, and several secondary roads.

For the implementation of this construction project in an urban area, Zingrich Cabletrans AG was commissioned to build a material cableway with an electro-hydraulic drive and a radio-controlled motor rope crane.
