Engineering Project:

As part of my final examination at the HTL, the school-leaving exam, I decided to do a project with Doppelmayr. At this company I also did my last industrial placement in the designing department for single stage carriers.

Our task: Two friends and I are assigned to develop a concept to automatically store chairs or cabins within the station and put them back on the rope again. This would be a useful additional feature to the present systems because nowadays it takes quite a lot of time and skilled personel to manually fulfil this duty.

Our suggested solution: After thinking about different approaches we have chosen a system which works with a chain conveyor. The drive system for the chairs/gondolas in operation, a tyre conveyor, is first lifted up. The chairs/cabins to be stored are then pushed along the carriageway in certain segments of the station by means of a chain conveyor. The drawing up of this chain conveyor is my main assignment in the project.

Supervision: Johannes Moritzhuber, Doppelmayr, and Wilhelm Köb, HTL-Bregenz, are overseeing our work.

Practical Experience:


During my education and training at the HTL-Bregenz I already did some industrial placements to gain additional practical experience. Of course we also do practical work at school in workshops and laboratories (approximately 20 % of our courses), but my practical trainings have shown that you still learn something new every day outside at a company. All traineeships appealed to me and there were never any troubles which would be worth mentioning.

I worked at:

  • 2002 – Doppelmayr (Wolfurt, Austria):
    designing of all kinds of different devices placed in ropeway stations using HAN CAD 400 | www.doppelmayr.com

  • 2001 – Wärtsilä (Turku, Finland):
    assembling and fitting of cylinder heads and pistons in Diesel engines used in ships and power plants | www.wartsila.com

  • 2000 – Engel (Schwertberg, Austria):
    designing clamping devices for NC milling machines | www.engel.at

  • 2000 – Fries (Röthis, Austria):
    doing some organizational work in the tool-making area and designing of simple parts in the R&D department using SolidWorks | www.fries.at

  • 1999 – Elko (Rankweil, Austria):
    working at a NC lath manufacturing liners used for honing piston rings | www.koenig-kg.at

Additional Information:


Software skills:
basic knowledge in: AutoDesk Inventor, AutoCAD - Mechanical Desktop, HAN CAD 400, Solid Works, MS-Office, MathCAD, MatLAB;

Other interests:
playing the cello, mountain biking, skiing;

Educational intentions:
I am satisfied with my choice to attend the HTL-Bregenz. Although my interest in mechanical engineering was confirmed during the last five years I am planning to study something different. I intend to take a technical physics degree at the technical university of Vienna.
