| Along with the
renovation of the Lycabettus funicular during the first
months of 2002, ETEMA installed in Lycabettus hill a material
ropeway of the German company Loipolder Seilbahn Tecknik
GmbH. The transporter had an overall length of 300 m,
a carrying capacity of 2,5 ton and required only one operator.
The wire rope of the ropeway was directly attached to
the large rocks of the hill, thus reducing significantly
the cost of installation since no foundations and counterweights
were needed. The ropeway was rented specifically for the
needs of this project and was used for 4 months in total.
Identical material ropeways can be used in a wide range
of applications, such as the carrying of concrete for
the construction of foundations of towers of ski lifts.
Its transportation is very easily achieved, since all
the required material is fitted into only one container! |

In the spring of 2004 ÅÔÅÌÁ cooperated
with the construction company Edrasi Psalidas SA in the
general repair of the footbridge of Ag. Paraskeui in Tempi
(central part of Greece). ETEMA supplied the carriage
of a horizontal material ropeway manufactured by the Austrian
company Koller GmbH. The ropeway had an overall length
of 60 m, a carrying capacity of 2,5 ton and it was anchored
directly to the foundations of the two bridge towers,
thus reducing significantly the cost of its installation.
Moreover, ETEMA provided know how and personnel during
the installation and removal of the ropeway. It is the
second cooperation with that particular company, after
the general repair and wall reinforcement made in the
tunnel of the Lycabettus funicular.
