The first step in urban cable car projects is especially important: the development of ideas and the conducting of the feasibility study require a combination of expert knowledge and precise planning.

Issues such as privacy, noise protection, and integration into tight and complex existing infrastructures can become real challenges. The planners at MELZER & HOPFNER approach these with expertise and precision.

With over 300 successfully implemented cable car projects, the company is able to find the best solutions for every case. At every project step, the company can provide visualizations in the form of renderings and videos.

As practice shows, this helps better illustrate the project and consider details.

Independent planning

The engineering office places great value on independence from the supply industry. This allows them to plan freely and secure the best prices for municipalities and transport operators.

“One very significant advantage of our office is the ability to create cable calculations independently – that is, without a cable car manufacturer – and thus define the positions of supports and stations,” emphasizes Daniel Mangold, engineer and managing director of MELZER & HOPFNER.

Longitudinal sections, site plans, and the design of the infrastructure around the cable car are part of the office’s daily work. Extensive knowledge is required to create efficient cable car concepts with good traffic flow and appealing design.

High competence is crucial to achieve the best result from concept to construction implementation.

Broad network of experts

Depending on the need, the company can rely on a broad network of renowned experts in urban planning, traffic planning, as well as approval and procedural law. MELZER & HOPFNER acts as the central point of contact and takes on coordination throughout the entire project.
