Salzburg cable car company relies on EWS know-how

Sustainability and ecology are also becoming increasingly important in the tourism industry and this is clearly the focus at Schmittenhöhenbahnen.

Schmittenhöhebahn AG is one of the largest cable car companies in the province of Salzburg and operates a total of 28 cable cars and lifts. In doing so, it increasingly relies on the use of renewable energies and resource efficiency.

Here we are able to support them with our know-how. Since August, our measurement team has been supervising an accredited LiDAR measurement on the Schmitten in Zell am See. Over a period of 12 months, we survey the wind potential and flow conditions on site in order to be able to reliably assess the design requirements for wind turbines at this complex location.
A LiDAR of the latest generation is used. A Windcube 2.1 with FCR correction, ideally suited for this complex terrain.

Wind turbines reach their peak performance in the winter months and are therefore the perfect solution to sustainably supply lift facilities and the associated infrastructure with renewable energy.

We would like to thank the client for this great order.
