The design allows to control the drop height and, thus, to keep the discharge point close to the emplaced material from the beginning. This helps to minimise the impact from noise and dust during operation of the system. Recently, an assembly team retensioned the track ropes to raise the discharge height and enable the next backfilling phase (Figure 1).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16028\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16028\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/2025.mining-report.de\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/FN_1_Doppelmayr_RopeCon_BardonHill.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16028\" src=\"https:\/\/2025.mining-report.de\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/FN_1_Doppelmayr_RopeCon_BardonHill.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mining-report.de\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/FN_1_Doppelmayr_RopeCon_BardonHill.jpg 900w, https:\/\/mining-report.de\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/FN_1_Doppelmayr_RopeCon_BardonHill-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/mining-report.de\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/FN_1_Doppelmayr_RopeCon_BardonHill-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mining-report.de\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/FN_1_Doppelmayr_RopeCon_BardonHill-600x800.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16028\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fig. 1.
