EcoTechnoPark is one of the most exciting infrastructure projects in Belarus

The inflight magazine "OnAir" of the Belarusian airline Belavia in its December issue published an article, in which SkyWay testing and certifying site EcoTechnoPark was included in the list of the most remarkable and interesting technological and infrastructure facilities of the Republic of Belarus.

It is noteworthy that journalists from OnAir traveled to interesting places of Belarus on the electric car Tesla, positioned by its creators as a vehicle of the future running entirely on electric drive, is equipped with an automatic pilot system, etc. Tesla is a kind of a flagship in the movement of car manufacturers to transition to automated control systems and electric motors.

The SkyWay systems are an alternative view of the future transport, which proposes to introduce another significant improvement: to move part of transport traffic up to the second level, above the ground. SkyWay and Tesla is the embodiment of radical transformations happening in the industry and potential competitors in the market. And now they have met in Maryina Gorka.

The pages of the magazine contained a photo of a section of SkyWay lightweight urban route in the process of installation. The body of the string rail was mounted on supports, but it wasn't given the tension, therefore, the rail was sagging greatly. For comparison the next photo shows the assembled body of the string rail with designed tension of 65 tons.
