3 General Requirements
3.1 Line
3.1.1 Line selection
3.1.1.1 In case of ropeway line selection, such things shall be taken into consideration as requirements of local climate, geographical conditions, main traffic lines that the ropeways cross over and other building facilities that they cross over as well as the emergency rescue.
3.1.1.2 The projection of the center line of ropeway line on a plane shall be a straight line (ropeway with angle station and triangle ropeway are exceptional).
3.1.1.3 The following areas shall be avoided for construction of ropeway line and station site:
——the areas at air outlet of hilly area, which is orthogonal to the prevailing wind direction;
——the areas with factors such as avalanche, landslide, collapse, karst cave, windstorm, tsunami, flood and fire, etc. that endanger safety of the ropeway, unless approved by the competent departments and provided with preventive measures;
——corresponding measures shall be adopted for any ropeway constructed near military installation according to the requirements of military base management organizations.
3.1.2 Maximum inclination angle
Maximum inclination angle of steel wire rope of circulating passenger aerial ropeway shall not be greater than 0.785 rad.
