Jig-back gondola Detachable gondola Bi-cable gondola 3-s Funitel Dual-rope jig-back gondola Aerial TramwayThe Bicable system is designed to cope with the most difficult conditions. The use of aseparate track and haul ropes permits lines to be designed with extremely long spans, and ofeffortlessly negotiating steep and slopes with impressive vertical heights. Even with the longspans, which the Bicable gondola can easily achieve in mind, the system performs extremelywell in windy conditions. Such details as rope saddles with a large angle of wrap, deepsheave grooves, side plates, and rope guidage systems, all combine to eliminate the risk ofderopement even at wind speeds of over 100 km/h. In addition, the ability of Bicableropeways to negotiate curves makes the system an example of skilled engineering, as thedesign can provide the optimum line for every location.6.0 FACTORS INFLUENCING THE SELECTION OF BI-CABLE DETACHABLEGRIP SYSTEM The ropeway is crossing a wide spanned river. The tower foundations shall be placed inthe water and shall be of sunken well type. Elaborate arrangements shall have to be madeto install such foundations. As such, the spans of the rope shall be more to minimize thenumber of towers. Also the rope sag shall have to be controlled to allow safe rivernavigation below the ropes. Dovetailing these factors resulted in the selection of Bicabledetachable type of ropeway. Better speed can be achieved The crossing of the cabins over the towers is silent and smooth The friction in the ropeway is neglibile The cabins are more stable in windy conditions due to the presence of two ropes atdifferent levels More capacity can be achieved because there is no slowing down or stopping of thehauling rope.
