Aerial Ropeways - Environmental Clearance

Environmental Monitoring Programd) The outer wires are becoming loose and displaced for any reason;e) The rope has become kinked, distorted or damaged and the damaged piece cannot beremoved; andf) Examination of the rope leaves any doubt as to its safety for any reason whatsoever.Carrier testing is to be performed to confirm design calculations. Carrier tests will simulate as aminimum the maximum design for carrier loads including restraining bars, foot rests, bubbles,etc. Carrier tests will help verify the carriers' ability to support a vertical load during the testingby arranging loads to simulate individual passenger positions. The details of the methods oftesting are given in Annexure 10.In designing trestles the following loads need to be considered:a. The weight of the trestle and the whole pressure exerted by the ropesb. The whole of the stresses due to friction which occurs during the motion of the carryinghauling rope. These stresses can be determined with a sufficient margin of safety as2.5% of the load on the rollersc. Weight of vehicles traveling with maximum load andd.
