Project Development

Line Layout Studies

Each project’s specificity, from the layout’s land topography to transport capacity, is taken into account for selecting the most suitable technical-economical solution. We develop projects from their respective conception – in the concept/idea stage – by optimising the line layout based on the latest topographic means to obtain detailed land modelling.

Stations and Towers

Stations are the main installation points, and it is at these installation extremities that the aerial to land interchange is performed. The towers maintain the position of the line/cables in relation to the ground and minimise cable stress. The selection of their location and respective interactions with the surrounding area is analysed from various perspectives to ensure the safety of both installation and passengers, as well as to ensure easy access and comfort.

Engineering and Architecture

We analyse the most suitable solutions, from an engineering and architectural perspective, to ensure the installation is harmonious with its surroundings, even though the materials for this type of structure are subject to significant stress forces.

Cables

The cable is what transports the cars and that connects the entire cableway. "Cable(s) installations must comply with specific procedures – work sequences, cable fixing/splicing, tensioning and catenary – to guarantee the installation’s safety and strict compliance with project specifications.

Licencing and Start of Operation

Etermar implements cable car projects from conception to engineering, as well as construction, for the ultimate objective of having it licenced and to start operating.

Etermar's know-how, accumulated throughout many years in the construction and operation of cable cars, guarantees that international cable transportation laws are met during the entire process.
