Risk & Policy Analysts From Table 2.34 it is clear that a cableway installation can cost as little as €40,000 or as much €72 million. Smaller, uncomplicated cableways (such as drag lifts) which do not require buildings or numerous pylons are significantly cheaper than larger cableways (particularly gondolas and funiculars) which are more complex by nature. However, with the reduced price tag also come reduced travelling speeds and lower capacity levels. Surface lifts are also typically employed over shorter distances against a smaller incline. It is also evident that fixed grip technology (where the vehicle transporting the passenger moves continuously and all vehicles are required to stop at the same time) is cheaper than detachable technology (where the vehicle detaches from the cable to allow easier loading and unloading). Although fixed grip cableways can achieve greater speeds they typically experience longer waiting times as a result of reduced capacity levels (The Gondola Project, 2012). Furthermore, detachable technology permits the introduction of mid-stations and corners on the cable route (The Gondola Project, 2012). Across all product categories it appears that price is influenced by the length of the cableway installation and the number of vehicles on the cable (which in turn impacts upon the capacity of the cableway). Table 2.35 presents data from a recent French report prepared by CERTU, STRMTG and CETE 11 , regarding the use of cableways as urban public transport systems. The Table presents estimates of the costs involved in the installation of monocable and tricable cableways in an urban environment. Table 2.35: Breakdown of Cost of Investment for Monocable and Tricable Cableways System Monocable Tricable Drive Station (including electromechanical equipment and structural building, excluding architectural design €2.5 - €3 million €4 - €5 million and special measures). Intermediate Station €1.2 - €1.5 million Return Station €1 million €3 - €4 million 8-10 seater cabin €30,000 - 35 seater cabin - €300,000 100 seater cabin - €1 million Pylon €100,000 €500,000 Source: CERTU, STRMTG & CETE (2011) As is further elaborated in Table 2.35, prices of cableways vary depending on the specifications of the cableway and the type of cableway selected. It is also important to note that the cost of the cableway also includes the cost of, for example, stations and buildings, civil engineering and construction work. Examples are provided in Box 2.1 and Box 2.2 (overleaf) to provide further detail into the costs associated with two recent cableways installations. 11 CERTU = Centre d’Etudes sur les Réseaux, les Transports, L’Urbanisme et les Constructions (Research Centre for Networks, Transport, Urbanism and Constructions).
