Hangursbanen was built by Von Roll and erected by HMV. It had been in operation since 1963 and the old Ward-Leonard drive system was worn down. Also the relay based control system by NEBB was at the end of its life.
I was the project manager for the new drive system with DC drive and PLC control system. All brakes were modified for hydraulic lifting. The control system had a distance measurement system with 100% redundancy controlling the speed. The ropeway was demolished in 2016.
Employed by Hordaland Mek Verkstad.
