For the most part, The Gondola Project has been rather successful at getting people to notice and understand cable transit solutions. What we’ve not been to great at, however, is being able to explain some of the more nuanced technical and engineering related questions posed to us by our readers.
Don’t get me wrong—Nick Chu and I are reasonably intelligent people (well, at least Nick is), but we’re not engineers and nor would you want us to be (unless there’s Lego involved; we’re both really great with Lego). That’s why we recently partnered with lifelong ropeway technician and all-around nice guy, Tino Imhäuser.
Starting next month, Tino’s going to be available to answer all our readers’ technical and engineering-related questions in a new weekly segment called “Ask Tino.” Tino’s got over 30 years experience in the ropeway industry from a technical/engineering perspective and has opened/designed/sold dozens of systems around the world.
Got a technical question about ropeways you want answered? Send your questions to gondola (at) creativeurbanprojects (dot) com with “Ask Tino” in the subject heading and we’ll try to answer all your questions.
