In the project, which was realized with the build-operate-transfer model, the installation of new poles was started following the dismantling of the existing old lines and poles. The installation of the 24 beam, which was close to the center of the 6 pole between Teferrüç station and the Winding station, was completed and the concrete parts of the sections remaining on the non-passage slopes were completed without dismantling the old ropeway line. In order to install the remaining 18 pole, the company determined to cut a large number of trees in order to prevent the damage to the environment and decided to assemble these poles by helicopter.
Helicopter arrived from Bulgaria
It was agreed with the Swiss company Heliswiss for the transportation and assembly of poles and materials, which were brought to the top of the line, Teferrüç station, which is the first stop of the line, and weighs no more than 4,5 tons. The Swiss company brought the Russian-made helicopter in Bulgaria to Bursa for the construction of the ropeway. A team of 30 people, including experts from Switzerland, Bulgaria, Italy, Germany and Austria, started the erection of poles in the morning. While the materials in the open area at the top of the Teferrüç Station are connected to the helicopter with ropes, the materials transported to the assembly area are mounted without dismantling from the helicopter by the work of the ground crews in that area.
