Zipline cable stringing
Has anyone strung a cable 2000-2500m+ for a zipline or any other application before?

Sounds a lot like pulling sockline for a power line (but without the towers to hold the zipline off the ground). Lots of YouTube video of that.
This might be different though. Do you have a location we can look at on Google Maps? |
I did 3 pulls of 1.9 km each once, (three conductors) pulling a sockline across a valley from tower to tower.
Aircraft was a AS350. I used a 75 ft longline with 250 lbs of weight on it for the pull. JD http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/v...pslvevblw3.jpg |
Our company has done several powerline wire pulls that were over a mile long, all using the 500 and the side pull.
What is the size and weight of the line? Can the helicopter lift the pull weight of the line? Are you planning on keeping the line under tension? do you have appropriate brake/drum setup? Pulling bottom to top? what is the plan to catch it off? |
