The new lift will be an approximately 1,300-meter-long T-bar lift and a major step in the development of Syterbyn. Long-term plans include four lifts and seven new slopes in the area.
– It is very exciting that Hemavan is the first in the world to use this technology for a lift project. It shows that even a large-scale project in demanding mountain terrain can drive innovation. The fact that the foundations require less material and fewer heavy transports makes the technology particularly interesting as we take the next big step in developing Syterbyn.
Markus Eriksson, CEO of Hemavan Alpint AB.
The foundations were developed by the Finnish company Hyperion Robotics in collaboration with Hemavan Alpint and lift supplier Doppelmayr. Each foundation is digitally designed based on the load and conditions of its specific location. A robot 3D-prints the permanent form around an optimized reinforcement cage before the structure is filled with concrete.
The technology places material exactly where it is needed. This reduces material consumption by approximately 30–40 percent compared to traditional foundations and also means fewer heavy transports and less work on the mountain.
The foundations were tested on-site in Hemavan for an entire winter season before being selected for the lift project. They have since been inspected and approved by DEKRA and are CE-marked.
