Systems Operation
SIEMAG TECBERG is operating the fully automatic shaft hoisting system for transporting the rock, the building material and the personnel during the entire construction phase of the new Gotthard base tunnel. Besides the main hoisting equipment, the system includes an auxiliary hoisting system, the equipment for handling the ropes and a mobile rescue winch.
The hoist can transport 6,350 t of waste a day, plus 50 material units daily and 60 persons per shift and direction of travel. This capacity requires a 4-rope Koepe hoist with a three-phase motor as direct drive, which at an output of 4,200 kW powers a rope-guided double-deck cage with 50.8 t payload and counterweight.
A further single-drum shaft hoisting system with an auxiliary cage for 1.6 t payload serves as a secondary man-riding hoist and for evacuation in emergencies.
