Plan Praz: The tower P5 is equipped with the 'passerelle'

The companyVLM has installed last Friday, the 'passetelle' around the P5 tower of the old Plan Praz gondola. This equipment of 8.90m diameter and 3.7 tonnes has been installed with the Super Puma helicopter. All parts have been assembled in advance to make it easier and faster. The "grignottage" (technique used to destroy the tower) will be able to continue safely. The lifting of the platform will be using two hydraulic pull boxes along the masts. Le Dauphiné
