OREANDA-NEWS. February 06, 2014. The cableway under Masik Hill Ski Resort Project, of which the design work, supply and technical services were contracted by China ENFI Engineering Corp. (ENFI) in North Korea, was handed over to the employer recently. As of January 21, it had been put into smooth operation for over one week.

ENFI has designed three passenger cableways (A, B and C) for the resort. Cableway A ends at the Skiing Hall at the foot of the hill, while Cableway C starts at the main peak and the crest. Cableway A is designed as a single-cable reversible four-person hanging-chair tramway with fixed rope clips, with a horizontal distance of 417.8m, a height difference of 50m, the maximum running speed off 2m/s and the single-direction traffic of 800 passengers per hour. Cableway B is designed with the same type with Cableway A, with a horizontal distance of 1,725.6m, a height difference of 526.9m, the maximum running speed off 2.2m/s and the single-direction traffic of 1,200 passengers per hour. Cableway C is designed as a single-cable reversible two-person hanging-chair tramway with fixed rope clips, with a horizontal distance of 740.3m, a height difference of 124m, and the single-direction traffic of 720 passengers per hour. All the technologies and the equipment employed for these cableways are respectively independently developed by ENFI and made in China.

ENFI was awarded with the contract on August 14, 2013. All the construction drawings for on-site project execution were finished on September 11. The first batch of cargo was sent out on August 31, and all the cargoes (with a total weight of more than 600 tons) were delivered at the early of December. Cableway A was completed at the end of December, and the trial runs for Cableways B and C were accomplished respectively on January 7 and January 8, and formally handed over to the employer for operation on January 12, 2013. Basing upon the outstanding technical strength on cableway and the relevant professional expertise, the Project Team completed all the works within a short period of less than 5 months, hitting a record of Masik Hill Speed of ENFI.
