Nevis Range is a mountain resort located in the Scottish Highlands close to Ben Nevis itself. The resort provides a great opportunity for snow sports, mountain biking and beautiful walks with fantastic views.
One of the key features of the resort is the Mountain Gondola, which is the only one of its kind in the UK, reaching up to 650m. The Gondola was built on the North face of Aonach Mor, the neighboring mountain of Ben Nevis, and is commonly used to transport skiers to the top of the mountain, as well as mountain bikers, tourists and hill walkers.
The Brief
Our Client asked if we could assist with the replacement of a specialized Hydraulic Power Unit designed for hydraulic tensioning of the cable support wire for their chair lift system further up the mountain above the Gondola station.
As the chair lift regularly transports hundreds of Nevis Range customers, it is essential that the hydraulics are working properly and the cable is properly supported by the right equipment and engineering.
In the first instance we were asked to overhaul and rebuild the existing unit to ensure it is of the highest standard possible and works seamlessly throughout the year. This was by no means a small job but the team at Bowen were well prepared and possessed the skills and experience to complete the task.
