Design and engineering for local passenger transport and urban cable cars
Our planning and engineering services range from concept developments for innovative transport systems, local passenger transport planning for ground-based and elevated transit systems, to cable car design and engineering with static and dynamic ropeway line calculations.
With the assistance of our long-term partners, we can cover all planning and design phases for buildings, structures and system equipment. This includes plans for preliminary design, conceptual design, approval design and detailed design for system technology, stations and maintenance facilities, track infrastructure and building technology.
