Abstract
The municipal council of Medellin has chosen the gondola lift solution to connect the hillside district of Santo Domingo to the city's overground metro network. The MetroCable project, as it is called, is jointly funded by the city and the mass transit company, Metro Medellin. The system is an Ariana 8-10 gondola lift from the Satellit range, equipped with aluminum Diamond gondolas made by Sigma. The line is scheduled to run 18 hours/day, all year round. It is 2 km. long, with a vertical rise of 400 meters, three sections and four terminals, including two intermediate stations, the first of which includes a 15° turn. Ground on which the lift is built calls for extremely deep anchoring for the single-shaft towers, each of which rests on four piles, with a diameter of 2 m. driven down to a depth of 8 meters.
