The most challenging stage of construction for the new VL1 cable car has been successfully completed at the all-season Veduchi mountain resort: three giant supports on opposite sides of the gorge have been connected with the first cable.
The project's key parameters include: the span between supports is almost 3 km; the distance from the future cabin to the ground is 414 m; one support is located on the southern slope of the gorge, and two on the northern slope.
The installation was completed using a helicopter: it transported the cable from the starting point to the supports, while the crew ensured precise tracking of the cable along the terrain, without excessive tension or sagging (in the shape of a smooth parabola).
The next stages of construction include the installation of more powerful cables, the installation and commissioning of automation control systems, motors, and safety sensors, and the installation of 18 cabins with a capacity of 32 people each.
The project will improve the resort's accessibility and enhance the quality of service for guests.
