Conveyor & Ropeway Services Pvt. Ltd. (CRSPL), a Kolkata-based engineering company specialising in aerial ropeway systems, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee to associate on research and development of ropeway technologies, to provide technical and collaborative support for a sustainable transport in urban connectivity.
A major focus of the collaboration will be the evaluation and further development of CURVO, the world’s first non-linear ropeway technology developed by CRSPL that can negotiate curves and bends without detachment from the rope at line speed, unlike conventional ropeways that operate in a straight alignment. CURVO is designed to negotiate the curves and bends, along the road routes making it particularly suitable for urban transportation corridors.
