Methodology CRSPL mobilized a technical team to carry out the survey of the

profile along the tentative alignment based on the freezing of loading

stations and the unloading stations. During this exercise, the team

picked-up the geodetic co-ordinates of the locations (elevation,

longitude & latitude readings) along the alignment with the help of

total station survey and Geographical Positioning System (GPS)

instruments.

The data picked up during this survey work were used to prepare the

topographical profile of the alignment and the layout of the ropeway

system. This enabled to design the entire ropeway system.

Based on the initial understanding, CRSPL deputed the team to site

from 06.11.15. The team carried out the survey work in two phases,

first for Chanju – III and then followed by Deothal – Chanju and

completed the site survey job on 19.11.2015.

CHAPTER – III

AERIAL ROPEWAY SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

Aerial ropeway is one of the means of transport system that was

adopted for transportation of men and material from one place to

another, especially across difficult zone like crossing of rivers, gorge,

etc. by means of carriers supported and pulled by rope. Research

revealed that Chinese used ropeways as early as 300 BC where an

old Chinese ink drawing dating as back as around 300 BC shows

people are seen getting transported over rivers and canyons by

means of hemp ropes and straw baskets.

Over the years in the past, Ropeways have been used

commercially in bigger scale. There have been research and

developments over the years, and today ropeway is not only a

very safe and reliable mode of transport, but also an

environment friendly one as it does not have negative impacts

from emission and ecology points of view because of its

reliability, ease of installation & operation, and environment

friendly aspects. Ropeways are being widely used as a very

effective means of transporting passengers in mountain regions,

ski-resorts and tourism purposes.

At the same time, ropeway system have been highly developed

for Industrial usages for transportation of materials over long

distances where other conventional means cannot be used due to

inaccessible terrain, high investments for construction of access

roads or railways. Material ropeways transport high loads of raw

materials, merchandise and construction materials and are capable

TECHNO – FEASIBILITY STUDY 2016

P R E P A R E D B Y : C O N V E Y O R & R O P E W A Y S E R V I C E S P V T . L T D . Page 29

of negotiating long distances and major obstacles - including

topographically demanding terrain. It is relatively cheap, cost

effective and popular mode of transport. Ropeway systems offers

many advantages over other conventional means of transport,

when it comes to rugged terrain and inaccessible areas for

roads.

In mountainous areas, ropeways have a long history of success.

They are used as a simple, safe, efficient, cost effective and rational

means of transport of material whenever a transport capacity in

excess of 100 TPH is called for on rugged terrain. Ropeway systems

occupy little ground space, but are capable of negotiating long

distances overcoming obstacles coming between the individual tower

structures. Intervention to the natural surroundings on account of

Ropeway is minimal. The application of new technologies developed

in the construction of passenger ropeway systems, to the material

transport ropeways has encouraged a wider use of material

ropeways in the field of freight transports.

Classification of Ropeways:

Aerial ropeways can be grouped by two main criterions:

1. The number of ropes with different functions

2. The type of movement

Classification depending upon number of ropes with

different function:

In this category of classification, there are principally two types

of ropeways :

TECHNO – FEASIBILITY STUDY 2016

P R E P A R E D B Y : C O N V E Y O R & R O P E W A Y S E R V I C E S P V T . L T D . Page 30

(a) Mono-cable ropeway ( b) Bi-Cable ropeway

Mono-Cable Ropeway: In Mono-Cable ropeways, the function of

carrying and propelling the vehicles is taken over by just one

rope, i.e. carrying-hauling rope.

Mono-Cable Detachable

Continuous Circulating

Ropeway.

Special Mono-Cable Ropeway

with double track rope.

A special construction of Mono-Cable ropeways is the double-

loop monocable where the vehicles are transported with two

parallel carrying-hauling ropes.

Bi-Cable Ropeways

In Bi-Cable ropeways, there is one (or

more) carrying rope(s) along which the

vehicle rolls by means of its carriage and

one (or more) haulage rope(s) which

propel the vehicles.

Bi-Cable To & Fro

Operation

TECHNO – FEASIBILITY STUDY 2016

P R E P A R E D B Y : C O N V E Y O R & R O P E W A Y S E R V I C E S P V T . L T D . Page 31

Classification depending upon type of Movement

Under this category of classification, ropeway system can be

classified as-

a. To & Fro Motion.

b. Circulating operation

c. Pulsating Ropeways

To & Fro Motion (Jig-Back) : In this type of ropeways, the

vehicle oscillates “To & Fro” between stations on the same track

by inverting the hauling ropes direction of motion.

Circulating Operation: In circulating operation ropeways, the

vehicles are propelled by constant intermittent running ropes. Up

& Down transportation takes place in different tracks. The

circulating ropeways can be further subdivided into-

1 Fixed Grip Installations:

Where the carriers are permanently attached to the haulage or

Carrying-hauling rope is called Fixed Grip type ropeway.

2 Detachable installations : In case of detachable ropeways,

the grip of carriers are detached and re-attached in the stations.

Pulsating Ropeways :

TECHNO – FEASIBILITY STUDY 2016

P R E P A R E D B Y : C O N V E Y O R & R O P E W A Y S E R V I C E S P V T . L T D . Page 32

This type of ropeway the speed of the rope can be varied. It can

go up to a definite speed but when the vehicles approach

station, vehicle speed is reduced and finally it comes to a halt .

This is generally used for transportation of passengers in

amusement parks. During de-boarding and boarding, all other

vehicles are stationery in line.

However, for the purpose of material transportation, the following

types of Ropeway System are in use :

a. Continuously Moving Mono-Cable Ropeway with Fixed Grip

b. Continuously Moving Mono-Cable Ropeway with

Detachable Grip

c. Continuously Moving Bi-Cable Ropeway with Detachable

Grip

d. Double track Bicable System

A brief operational features of each system and its advantages /

disadvantages are given below:-

a. Continuously Moving Mono-Cable Ropeway with

Conventional Grip.

In this system a single endless

rope supported on intermediate

tower sheaves serves the dual

purpose of carrying as well as

hauling a carrier suspended on it

from one place to the other. The

carriers are suspended from the CONVENTIONAL MONOCABLE SYSTEM

TECHNO – FEASIBILITY STUDY 2016

P R E P A R E D B Y : C O N V E Y O R & R O P E W A Y S E R V I C E S P V T . L T D . Page 33

rope and clipped to it by the gravity force arising out of its own

weight as also weight of material. When driven, the carrier

moves with the rope from one point to the other. At the stations

the carriers are automatically detached from the moving rope to

facilitate loading / unloading operation.

Advantages Low capital investment.

Simple in construction, operation and

maintenance.

Skilled operative personnel are not required.

Limited number of equipments / moving

parts. Hence low operation cost.

Disadvantages

Limited transport capacity. High rate of

transportation is not possible.

Cannot negotiate steep gradient. Since the

carriers are clipped to the rope by gravity

force only, possibility of slippages while

negotiating a gradient is high. Hence

generally unsuitable for a hilly terrain.

Large span between supports are not

possible. Hence capability of negotiating a

gorge / valley is limited.

Maintenance of large number of towers and

tower mechanicals.

High speed is not possible.

TECHNO – FEASIBILITY STUDY 2016

P R E P A R E D B Y : C O N V E Y O R & R O P E W A Y S E R V I C E S P V T . L T D . Page 34

b. Continuously Moving Mono-Cable Ropeway with

Detachable Grip :

This system is a development in

a material Ropeway system.

Operating principal is same as

conventional monocable. Only

difference is that a special grip

with the carriers are used which

remain firmly attached by some

external forces provided through

a pair of special spring in

DETACHABLE GRIP TYPE MONOCABLE

SYSTEM

addition to gravity forces. when the carrier approaches or

leaves a station, it passes over a special device where the

grip automatically detaches itself from the continuously

moving rope and moves on fixed structure and the chair /

cabin speed is reduced. At the time of leaving the station,

the carrier catches n to the continuously moving rope and

while passing though a device installed at the stations, the grip

are automatically coupled to the moving rope. This type of

ropeway can go up to a speed of 6 mps (however, in India

the maximum permissible speed is 4 mps).

Advantages Can negotiate steep gradient.

Can follow the natural ground terrain

eliminating the need of tall towers while

negotiating a gorge / valley. Hence ideally

suitable for a hilly terrain.

Low capital expenses compared to Bicable

TECHNO – FEASIBILITY STUDY 2016

system.

Simple in construction, operation and

maintenance.

Disadvantages Cannot have high transport capacity.

Installation and operation costs are higher

than conventional system.

Large span between towers not possible.

Hence maintenance of many towers and

tower mechanicals.

High speed not possible.

c. Continuously Moving Bi-Cable Ropeway with

Detachable Grip :

In bicable system, there is tensioned stationery Track Ropes both on Load and empty side and a second endless rope attached to each carrier. The carriers are suspended from the Track Ropes at intervals which carry their weight. The Haul Rope is firmly attached to the carrier

and when driven, move the carriers BICABLE SYSTEM

from one point to the other. The Bicable system, because of special locked coil type Track Ropes and more complicated carriages are always more expensive than a Monocable System.

This type of ropeway can go up to a speed of 10 mps on track rope and 7.5 mps over line supports i,e; saddles on line trestles as when the cabin reaches station, it detaches itself from the

TECHNO – FEASIBILITY STUDY 2016

P R E P A R E D B Y : C O N V E Y O R & R O P E W A Y S E R V I C E S P V T . L T D . Page 36

continuously moving hauling rope and moves on fixed structure and the cabin speed is reduced to crawling speed. This type is very costly and requires maximum mechanicals in stations. With this type system longer unsupported span is possible.

Advantages

Large Single span possible.

High transport capacity and speed.

Less number of moving parts.

Disadvantages High capital investment.

System being sophisticated requires

qualified Operational & Maintenance Staff.

d. Double Track Bicable System

In double track bicable system, there is tensioned stationery 2

(two) Track Ropes both on Load and empty side and a second

endless rope attached to each carrier. The carriers are

suspended from the Track Ropes at intervals which carry their

weight. The Haul Rope is firmly attached to the carrier and when

driven, move the carriers from one point to the other. The

Double Track Bicable System, because of numbers of special

locked coil type Track Ropes and more complicated carriages

are always more expensive than a Monocable and a Bicable

System.

SYSTEM CONCEPT

A. Ropeways for Chanju – III HEP (48 MW)

Considering the requirement of the various parameters for the

ropeway and its suitability to the operation and the ground profile it is

proposed for a Twin Track Bi Cable ropeway system. The following

points are to be kept in mind while designing this ropeway.

1. The ropeway shall be suitable for carrying construction

materials e.g. cement, astragals, sand, reinforcement bar,

components, and concrete mixing machine in dismantled

condition.

Rev. 1

TECHNO – FEASIBILITY STUDY 2016

P R E P A R E D B Y : C O N V E Y O R & R O P E W A Y S E R V I C E S P V T . L T D . Page 41

As per mail dated 06.02.2016 the following material loads to be

considered for the ropeway near the power house of the project.

Chanju III HEP.

i) Approx weight of Butterfly valve – 6 MT.

ii) Approx. weight of penstock one shell – 4 MT.

However the maximum weight of material to be transported

through other ropeways shall be remained unchanged.

2. Material to be loaded and unloaded at the terminal stations

only.

3. The ropeway will be driven by electric motor through suitable

control drive system.

4. Minimum no. of rope supporting trestle to be considered. Since

the ropeway profile for almost all cases are crossing Nallah or

small stream it is preferred to avoid trestle in between.

5. Since the ropeway profile is across a Nallah or stream there is

possibility of high wind velocity.

SYSTEM WORKING DESCRIPTION

It is proposed to be a twin track bi-cable jig back ropeway with single

hauling rope. There shall be two nos. track rope running from

Loading Station to Unloading station. There could be one or two

trestle to support the track rope. However, for almost all the

ropeways there will be no intermediate trestle. Both track ropes will

TECHNO – FEASIBILITY STUDY 2016

P R E P A R E D B Y : C O N V E Y O R & R O P E W A Y S E R V I C E S P V T . L T D . Page 42

be anchored positively to anchor bracket/ frame on foundation. The

track ropes will pass over the saddles mounted on station structure.

To the Lower station the rope is anchored through mechanical

tensioning device and then to anchor bracket on the foundation. The

track ropes are tensioned for the recommended tension and done in

such a way that they are parallel throughout.

An endless hauling rope runs all along the center of the track ropes

and below it. The hauling rope is clamped to the carriage to give the

required motion. Hauling rope is given the required tensions by

weighted type gravity tension in tension tower.

Ropeway main drive comprises of main electric AC motor with VVVF

drive and a helical gearbox coupled to the drive sheave shaft. There

are two nos. of brake provided in the drive. One on the gearbox input

shaft and the other is on the drive sheave.

The electric motor drive is controlled by VVVF drive that adjusts the

demand of power and maintains a constant speed. For a condition

when the system is regenerative the drive dissipates the energy

through thermal dissipater and maintains the constant speed.

Acceleration and deceleration of the ropeway is to be controlled by

the electric drive system.

The ropeway drive mechanicals comprises of suitable diameter drive

sheave made out of good quality cast iron / cast steel / steel

fabrication as per design requirement. The drive sheave rope groove

shall have suitable machined groove with or with out liner as per

design and life requirement. A lined groove will give longer life to

TECHNO – FEASIBILITY STUDY 2016

P R E P A R E D B Y : C O N V E Y O R & R O P E W A Y S E R V I C E S P V T . L T D . Page 43

rope and drive. This sheave is mounted on machined steel shaft and

supported in antifriction bearing housing. The end of shaft will be

fitted with geared coupling and is then coupled to a rugged helical

gearbox of size to suit the drive requirement.

Suitable size AC squirrel cage induction motor is coupled to the input

shaft of the gearbox through flexible / resilient type coupling with a

provision of brake drum for external braking by thrustor brake.

Additional disc brake of suitable size and capacity to be fitted to the

other side of drive sheave shaft. This will act as emergency / parking

brake.

Deflection sheaves are used to guide the rope from drive or return

sheave to the line sheave at station front.

Note : Incase of Bicable Jig back System in place of two Track Ropes only one track rope will be there, rest will remain same as above.

Based on the meeting held on 08.04.16, at the O/o General Manager (Designs), Sundernagar and the letter No. HPPCL/DGM/RCP/G-6/2016-78-81 dt. 16.04.16., the modified loads are as follows:- a) Chanju III HEP Ropeway R1,R2,R3,R4 & R5 – Max.

SYSTEM WORKING DESCRIPTION for Unloading Stations

The Unloading Station is an elevated / ground structure. The

operation of the station is as follows:

A loaded trolley on arriving at the station entrance to be stopped for

unloading of material. The ropeway stops automatically at a pre

determined position in the station. Check that the brake is engaged

before working in the trolley for unloading. By the help of the lifting

mechanism provided in the carriage assembly lower the trolley on

the station floor. Anchor the trolley by suitable chain and hook so that

the trolley does not move while the unloading is being done. Now

bring the Hydra or other Lifting machine to suit the load. In case the

materials can be manually unloaded the same can be done.

TECHNO – FEASIBILITY STUDY 2016

P R E P A R E D B Y : C O N V E Y O R & R O P E W A Y S E R V I C E S P V T . L T D . Page 45

After unloading clean the trolley and then load with materials that is

planned to be lowered to lower station, if any.

Two nos. manual Chain pulley blocks of suitable capacity are fitted to

the bottom hooking points on either side of the carriage. The trolley

to be raised by means of the lifting device in the carriage so that it

clears the floor while making the return journey. It is necessary to

align and level the trolley by suitable adjustment and the hoist to be

locked.

At the return station there is a return sheave same as drive sheave

mounted on tension trolley. This tension trolley moves on rail to

provide the to and fro motion for the tensioning of the haulage rope.

To other side of the tension trolley the tension rope is attached and it

passes over the sheaves on tension tower and connected to counter

weight. Adequate rope tension is provided by this gravity type

tensioning arrangement.

The track rope is tensioned by means of tension screw. This system

is required to align the two track ropes for similar catenery.

SYSTEM WORKING DESCRIPTION for Loading Station

The Loading Station is a ground level structure. The operation of this

station will be as follows:

An empty Trolley approaching the station will be automatically

slowed down by the VVVF controlled drive and will stop at a

predetermined location. Now, if this is an empty trolley material can

be loaded with care. The trolley to be anchored after it is lowered to

the station. load the materials and place them properly so that the

loading is uniform and does not make eccentric loading. Tie tem

properly with the trolley frame by manila rope.

Raise the trolley to about 450 mm above the station floor so that

it does foul with the floor. Lock the lifting device properly. Check

the center of gravity is balanced so that the trolley is horizontal.

Before starting the ropeway Clear anchor and any other

obstruction in the way of trolley movement.

Ropeway drive will be located at Upper Station. The main motor,

gearbox, other transmission machinery including control panel

will be located here. The main drive will have option to drive from

power from D G set.

The ropeway will operate in forward direction to lift material to

upper station. When operating in reverse direction it will lower

the trolley to lower station.

The haulage rope will be made endless by splicing and will

return from the return station. The rope tension will be provided

at lower station. Haulage rope will have weighted tension

whereas the track rope will have fixed tension by screw

mechanism. Since the land between the Lower station and Upper

station is a very rough terrain intermediate trestle has been

avoided as far as possible.

SAFETY:

The electric control system will stop the trolley at a

predetermined position in the station. In the event of any

further forward movement the safety limit switch will trip the

system and will not allow further beyond the safe limit.

There will be a set of rope catcher for the haulage to

prevent it from going out of the sheaves.

Electrical safety system will be provided in the panel as per

standard practice.

There will be a telecommunication system by telephone

between the Lower and Upper station.

The ropeway should not be operated when the wind speed

exceeds 30 KMPH.

During the period when ropeway is not operating the trolley

must be brought at station and lowered to the floor and

anchored.

The objectives and advantages offered by Aerial Ropeway

The main objective of installation of the proposed ropeway, as mentioned earlier, is to transport construction material.

Looking at various options of transport system, there are only two options available either road transport or aerial ropeway system, in which ropeway installation is fast, eco friendly as well as economic.

TECHNO – FEASIBILITY STUDY 2016

P R E P A R E D B Y : C O N V E Y O R & R O P E W A Y S E R V I C E S P V T . L T D . Page 50

Ropeway System can negotiate steep gradient, with less space.

Ropeway is an environment friendly system. There will be very less impact of the ecology and environment during the installation and operation of ropeway system. There will not be stress on the forest and its coverage can be maintained intact during the operation.

Ropeway, generally, does not change the land use pattern.

It rarely requires displacement or relocation. Being aerial, it does not obstruct the movement underneath.

There will not be any conflict on the wild life as the operation of ropeway does not generate any vibrations, sound, heat, etc. that might have negative impact on the wild life.

As ropeway is electrically operated, there will not be additional pressure on the requirement of fossil fuel for transportation of materials.

Ropeway can save the surrounding greeneries from the fumes of the vehicles arising from road transport. Regular vehicular movement along the hill road may destroy the natural beauty and habitations and will increase the cost of maintenance of the roads.

Ropeway System will minimize the transportation cost substantially and there will be no problem as related to the road transportation. Reliability of transportation of material is much more, incase of Ropeway at the Hilly area / road.

Since Ropeway will directly transfer the material, it will reduce the contamination and wastage of the material.

CHAPTER – VIII

CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATIONS

From the contents in previous Chapters, it is concluded that

6 Nos. Ropeways For CHANJU – III HEP (48 MW) R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, & R6

: Are technically viable and most suitable

Ropeway being Aerial requires little space

Ropeway is more susceptible to high wind, and rain

Ropeway is also less prone to interruption in operation owing to road transportation problems.

Based on the ground profile and the requirement Ropeway is the only solution for transportation of the materials.

It is therefore recommended that

6 Nos. Ropeways at CHANJU – III HEP (48 MW) are technically viable and also the most suitable means of transportation, meeting all the material transport requirements. Intermediate dropping of material near to the Adit point (Unloading Station) will be possible in Ropeway R6.

Forgoing studies were made on the basis of site survey made during Nov 2015, subsequent interaction & data collected from site and your officials. The layout drawing made available to us by you. Before execution of the project, it is advisable to visit the site and verify the data. And takeup the work accordingly.
