Together with local geologists and engineers, INAUEN- SCHA\u0308TTI took into account numerous factors, such as historic preservation, the townscape, legal provisions, environmental conservation and good neighbourliness.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe collaboration worked very well via weekly video chats, and I made an initial visit at the outset,\u201d Mu\u0308ller says. One particular factor in Massachusetts: inclined elevators can be operated only be local, certified companies. \u201cWe therefore looked for and found a classic elevator provider to undertake this task \u2013 who is also responsible for future maintenance and servicing,\u201d Mu\u0308ller reports. The package of spare parts supplied is in stock with the partner.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>Even the logistics ran smoothly \u2013 with the exception of a harbour backlog in New York, as a result of the pandemic. However, after ten days, two lorries were found, which drove the two containers to Provincetown \u2013 fully laden with rails, steps, cables, chassis, drive, doors and controller.<\/p>\n<p>Installation was undertaken by local workers, under the direction of a cable car expert from INAUEN-SCHA\u0308TTI. \u201cWe received the order in February 2019, and acceptance of the inclined elevator took place in the summer of 2021,\u201d Mu\u0308ller summarises the project. Practical testing will now follow in April 2022 \u2013 as that is when the Pilgrim Monument will once again open its doors to the many visitors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-builder-row .fusion-layout-column.gradient-column-14 .fusion-column-wrapper:before {content: \"\"; position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; top: 0; left: 0;z-index:-1;background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, right top, from(), to())!important;background: -webkit-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;background: -moz-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;background: -ms-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;background: -o-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new inclined elevator from INAUEN-SCH\u00c4TTI brings the Pilgrim Monument even closer to the centre of US destination Provincetown \u2013 including the good view.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":28303,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[180,287],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.simagazin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28295"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.simagazin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.simagazin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.simagazin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.simagazin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28295"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.simagazin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28295\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28308,"href":"https:\/\/www.simagazin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28295\/revisions\/28308"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.simagazin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28303"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.simagazin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28295"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.simagazin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28295"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.simagazin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28295"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
