During its more than 35 years on the market in the field of ski resort and cable car planning, the company has realised well over 200 cable car projects in the Alpine region and has developed into one of the most renowned cable car planning offices in the German-speaking world.<\/p>\n<p>The projects realised include almost all ropeway systems, ranging from large gondola lifts to small installations. Detailed references can be found on the homepage <a href=\"https:\/\/www.melzer-hopfner.at\/en\/\">www.melzner-hopfner.at.<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Independent planning<\/h3>\n<p>The engineering office attaches great importance to a neutral status towards its customers. This enables them to plan independently and achieve the best prices for their customers.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWe see a very significant advantage of our office as being able to create rope calculations without a ropeway manufacturer \u2013 i.e. independently \u2013 and thus be able to specify support and station positions,\u201c says engineer Daniel <strong>Mangold<\/strong>, Managing Director of MELZER &amp; HOPFNER.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Deriving longitudinal sections and site plans, as well as designing the required and desired infrastructure around the cable car is part of the daily work. This is because comprehensive knowledge is required to generate optimal ropeway concepts with a harmonious traffic flow and to design them in an architecturally appealing way.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, years of experience and expertise are required to achieve the optimum from the initial cable car idea to the final planning, as well as smooth coordination with the authorities and the final construction process.<\/p>\n<p>All of this is necessary in order to develop and realise the ideal project, taking into account all influencing factors of the respective project, says Mangold:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cPrecise, efficient and targeted planning is a basic prerequisite for project success!\u201c<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-builder-row .fusion-layout-column.gradient-column-2 .fusion-column-wrapper:before {content: \"\";

MELZER &amp; HOPFNER\u2018s tried and tested basic approach is to harmonise nature and technology. According to Mangold, the challenges in the Alpine region are not so different from those in an urban environment.<\/p>\n<p>In both cases, the aim is to integrate the cable car into its surroundings in the best possible way. The issues of privacy, noise protection and integration into tight and challenging existing infrastructure are also regularly encountered by the experts in alpine areas. This is where the company can provide support with its expertise.<\/p>\n<h3>Planning expertice troughout the whole project<\/h3>\n<p>The initial ideas in particular and the subsequent feasibility study mean combining a high level of expertise and precision with very fundamental considerations and statements.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWe know what cable cars can do and how they can be optimally integrated into their surroundings. Thanks to our in-house expertise \u2013 including in structural engineering planning \u2013 we can cover the entire planning service from initial rough considerations to concept and approval planning through to implementation planning,\u201c says Mangold.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-builder-row .fusion-layout-column.gradient-column-7 .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><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-4 gradient-container-4 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);background-position: center center;background-repeat: no-repeat;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-bottom: 0px;margin-top: 0px;border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px;border-color:#e2e2e2;border-style:solid;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-7 fusion_builder_column_1_6 1_6 fusion-one-sixth fusion-column-first gradient-column-8\" style=\"width:16.666666666667%;width:calc(16.666666666667% - ( ( 20px ) * 0.16666666666667 ) );margin-right: 20px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:20px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-builder-row .fusion-layout-column.gradient-column-8 .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 class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-8 fusion_builder_column_2_3 2_3 fusion-two-third fusion-column-last gradient-column-9\" style=\"width:66.666666666667%;width:calc(66.666666666667% - ( ( 20px ) * 0.66666666666667 ) );margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:20px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4\"><h3>A picture is worth a thousand words<\/h3>\n<p>Experience shows that communication is particularly important in an urban context. \u201cAs all of our planning is carried out using state-of-the-art technical equipment, we are able to provide visualisations in the form of renderings and videos at any stage of the project.
