Description
The matter is governed by the law of 13 June 1907, no. 403 "Installation of aerial funicular railways" and its implementing regulation Royal Decree no. 829 of 25 August 1908.
The person interested in the construction of a new line must contact the municipality on which he intends to build it in order to obtain the relative authorisations.
The municipality takes care of the entire administrative enquiry and the mayor, before issuing the building permit, may, if necessary, request a technical opinion on the safety of the installation and operation of the work, issued by the Servizio Impianti a Fune (S.I.F.). To this end, it forwards to the S.I.F. the executive project of the work provided to it by the applicant.
The project must contain at least the documents indicated in the document "Project documentation to be submitted as an attachment to the application for authorisation", below.
For the Ropeway Service to give a positive technical opinion, the project must comply with the recommendations of the O.I.T.A.F. (International Organisation for Transportation by Rope) regarding the construction and operation of material handling ropeways, in particular notebooks 8 and 12, below.
NOTE: for cableways used for timber hauling and for other types of removable installations of the light type without plinths and fixed masonry work, no S.I.F. technical opinion is required. These installations must
- be effectively removable
- be installed for the duration of the worksite where they are used
- be constructed and operated in compliance with the accident prevention regulations currently in force
If they could constitute an obstacle to air navigation, their installation must be reported to the competent authorities.
