The Cableway of one of the New 7 Wonders of the World has been closed since Monday, 8 July and is set to re-open on Sunday, 18 August.
During the visit, members from the maintenance crew “walked the line” as they carried out a slack rope test, and various safety checks. Technical Manager Emile Streicher provided insight into what work has been completed during this year’s shutdown period and Managing Director Wahida Parker was also on hand. Streicher, said: “The heel and haul ropes that pull the cable car up and down the mountain have been replaced, and it was also mandatory to replace other load-bearing components.”
