Krings Bergbahnen GmbH

Projects 2014

We thought you might be interested to hear about a selection of our

most notable projects. This is a very intense and important period for

us, and our teams have been working on the various sites for days.

The large amount of work we have to do is a sure sign that our clients

The managers of the Krings ski area were pioneers in the artificial snow sec-

tor, installing their first snowmaking machine in 1985. At the time it was only

possible to install a manual system, which was then partially expanded in the

1990s. It is therefore now high time to completely refurbish the system. Ap-

proximately 1.4 million $ was set aside to purchase and install the cutting-

edge machinery. Krings’ management is relying on cooperation with the

Leitner group for a complete makeover of the ski area’s infrastructure.

DEMACLENKO builds a pumping station with five vacuum pumps with a total power of 368.8 hp and a 15.8 gall/s capacity. There are also 5 high pressure pumps, with the same total power of 2,346.8 hp. Two have a 1,607.6 ft head, and the other three have a 885.9 ft head. The project is rounded off by two self-cleaning filters and several snow guns that include snowVisual, the software that allows you to manage water, air, time and energy extremely ef-ficiently. At DEMACLENKO we have created the right conditions for an outstanding winter season.


Murtal Seilbahnen Betriebs GmbH

In Kreischberg, Austria, in the Murtal ski area, significant funding has been

made available in preparation for the forthcoming Freestyle Ski & Snow-

board World Championships, which it will host in 2015. 12 million $ has

been set aside for creating new ski lift and snowmaking facilities, ensuring the

area is prepared for the big event and equipped with cutting-edge technol-

ogy and products. Murtal did not deprive itself of the latest comfort: snowVis-

ual software, which allows engineers to keep everything running smoothly

from a remote position, including any old products in the facility not produced

by DEMACLENKO.

Very soon we at DEMACLENKO will deliver 25 automatic mo-bile Titans, and completely renovate the pumping station, equipped with five 362 hp vacuum pumps with a 158 gall/s capacity. There will also be three high-pressure pumps witha total power of 2,011.5 hp and a 47.5 gall/s capacity. In addition to the pumps, six double 13 gall/s Cooling System towers will be installed, with a power of 2 x 20 hp pertower, as well as two 80.5 hp bubbling system compressors.

appreciate our products, and shows what we are capable of producing.

Thanks to their trust in our ability, we can create additional strong partner-

ships, above and beyond those already in place. Enjoy!


DOLOMITENAlta Pusteria

SEXTNERDOLOMITEN

Sextner Dolomiten AG

One of our largest and most impor-

tant projects in Alto Adige involves

the Sesto ski area in the Pustertal

valley. The link between Croda and

Elmo is costing a good 36 million $,

and involves a railway con-

nection, similar to that found in Per-

ca in Plan de Corones. The newly-

equipped “Sextner Dolomiten” will

boast 30 ski lifts and 56 miles of piste,

with a snowmaking system com-

prising 100 DEMACLENKO snow

guns. Our engineers assure us that

whilst it currently takes two weeks

to produce enough artificial snow,

with the new guns the time required

will be cut to an incredible 60 hours

(roughly two and a half days). The

cherry on the cake is a new water

supply system, which our engineers

have designed specifically to meet

the client’s needs.The PS 300, which is currently under construction, and will comprise two high pressure 100.6 hp pumps and have a total capacity of 13 gall/s. Approximately 26,246.8 ft of pipe will also be laid this summer.


Silvretta Montafon Bergbahnen AG

An agreement has just been signed between DEMACLENKO and the man-

agement of the Silvretta Montafon ski area in Austria to expand the existing

facilities and build a completely new system in Montafon on the Hochjoch

pass. Once the pistes have been widened and equipped with new ski lifts, the

next step will be the installation of a powerful and modern artificial snow-

making machine. Approximately 3.5 million $ have been earmarked for

this objective, and DEMACLENKO was chosen as the partner for the new

development. From this winter Montafon will be the latest location to boast

DEMACLENKO snow, and we will be on hand to assist our client with any

requirements they have throughout the season.

Our work schedule involves a new pumping station with a total capacity of 79 gall/s, and our Cooling System, which will cool 32 gall/s. The new fleet of snow guns at Silvretta Montafon will feature 57 Vis and Vis Up lances and 80 Titan, Titan S and Ventus guns. Silvretta’s snow engineers will be able to manage the entire system remotely using snowVisual, our software that helps keep consumption levels and performance under control.

Engadin St. Moritz Mountains AG

The excellent relationship forged between our Swiss branch, headed by Peter

Widmer, and the Engadin St. Moritz Mountains AG ski area has been further

strengthened by a project to build an artificial lake at Lej Alv. With a capac-

ity of 523,180 yd³, the lake will be the largest of its kind in Switzerland.

As well as building the lake, the teams on our sites have other projects lined

up, to ensure the upcoming season on the peaks of the Engandin gets off to

the perfect start.

Two years ago DEMACLENKO built a pumping station for St. Moritz Mountains AG equipped with 14 pumps, seven of which had a total power of 3,352.5 hp,plus four 295 hp vacuum pumps and three 59 gall/s capacity pumps for thecooling towers. In addition, two 80.5 hp bubbling system compressors were installed.


Silvretta Seilbahn AG

Work is in full swing in the Tyrolese ski district of Ischgl to ensure that tourists

arriving for the coming winter season are given the best possible welcome.

With a new cable car built, they now plan to expand the piste at Silvretta,

which leads directly to Ischgl. This project would not be complete without a

new snowmaking machine. Indeed, 11 Titan Silents have been ordered,

mounted on a 13,8 ft inclined tower. The $ 430,000 investment is also go -

ing towards a wireless modem for smartphones and tablets, to be used

to conveniently manage the entire facility remotely. With a DEMACLENKO-

branded iPad, the Silvretta Seilbahn engineers will be able to control their

facility wherever they are, using a simple and high-tech tool.

Titan Silent was chosen for its low noise emissions, which makes it suitable for use when the pistes are near built-up areas, as is the case with Silvretta Seilbahn.


Passo Sella

Surrounded by breathtaking scenery, the

DEMACLENKO team is working on a

second project at the Sella Pass in Alto

Adige. The job is to renovate a facility cre-

ated by Demac in the 1990s, before its

merger with Lenko. New Z160 fibreglass

pits will be installed, and a new pipeline

will be created. One important change

will be that from next winter the venue’s

snowmaking machines, built by Cappa-

dozzi, will be managed remotely using

snowVisual software. It’s looking like

being a highly successful winter season.


Brauneck und Wallbergbahnen GmbH

22 perfectly honed pistes and 17 ski lifts await visitors to Brauneck, providing

an extensive, varied choice to suit all tastes. Their relationship with DEMAC-

LENKO began last year, when we provided 30 pits and 30 lances, including

snowVisual software. But that was only the start. 30 pits, 20 lances and

three snow guns have been ordered, to ensure the over 50 acres of pistes

at the famous Bavarian ski resort have the required quantity of snow.
