Description:
Barrier-free access to a historic landmark was achieved with a precision-engineered corrugated steel enclosure protecting a passenger cable incline lift on a 46% slope. The nearly 40-meter structure had to fit precisely between two fixed stations with near-zero tolerance while maintaining consistent internal clearances. ViaCon designed a modular corrugated structural plate system (8 mm) oriented perpendicular to the slope and accurately connected to both terminals. Hot-dip galvanization to DIN EN ISO 1461:2009 ensures long-term durability. Close cooperation between the architect, contractor and ViaCon enabled precise surveying, phased installation and strict quality control. The enclosure was assembled on site in just eight weeks, delivering a robust, visually coherent solution that protects the lift, improves user safety and enables barrier-free access in a sensitive heritage setting.
