Ropeways

Material ropeway to transport 200 ton/h of talc from the quarry to the production plant. Purpose of the project was the complete replacement of the existing cableway with new stations, supports, cables, buckets, control system, loading and unloading systems, and a bucket cleaning system.

Overhaul and upgrade of the material ropeway connecting the quarry with the production plant in order to increase its capacity from 325 to 450 ton/h. The main interventions were: replacement of the buckets, anchoring of the track ropes and installation of a new control system for synchronising the movement of the buckets in the three stations.

Replacement of the ropeway operating at the Campulung site for transporting raw materials from the quarry to the cement plant. The project involved the complete replacement of the electromechanical components (while maintaining the existing stations) and the addition of a new control system to synchronize bucket movements within the stations.

Various overhauls of the historic cableway connecting the port of Savona to the Cairo Montenotte industrial area, including the replacement of 1,300 vehicle grips, design and construction of new loading stations, merging of the San Rocco–San Lorenzo and San Lorenzo–Ciatti sections, redesign of the San Rocco diversion station, and line synchronization.

Several revamping works have been carried out on the two ropeways connecting the Alpetto limestone quarry to the Merone cement plant, including: capacity increase with replacement of the winch and electrical equipment, replacement of buckets and tire beams in the stations, and extension of the loading station with the installation of a new rotating feeder.

Design and construction of a ropeway to transport limestone from the Itaretama quarry to the cement plant, with an hourly capacity of 600 tons. The system has a total length of 13.7 km and consists of three cableway sections, a loading station, an unloading station, and two intermediate stations.
