Conveyor belt design and construction:
Cable Belt, Camberley, U.K.
      
      Because of increased potash production,
      the Dead Sea Works chose to build a
      conveyor belt from its new factory on the
      Dead Sea to the railhead, 18 km away. To
      keep free movement for desert wildlife
      and hikers, the belt is supported by
      concrete pylons and sixteen steel
      bridges. Some of the bridges were
      lengthened significantly in order to keep
      the natural topography unchanged, yet lasting
      damage to the landscape is negligible.
