Maintenance/ Safety

Experience has shown that there is about one enquiry per year for each kilometre of the network which has to be followed up. For these enquiries, too, GasLINE can draw on its expertise to provide a quality service.

Operation and Maintenance

Maintaining the value of a fibre-optic infrastructure and handling all related activities requires sophisticated quality management skills to optimise availability while at the same time minimising failure frequency and system downtime.
Examples of such activities also include the settlement of compensation claims relating to damage caused by the system, the re-routing of lines where there are changes to street systems, or the repair of the cable infrastructure following a fault. In addition, the routes have to be monitored on a constant basis to ensure maximum infrastructure availability.
Ensuring smooth network operation also means responding to external enquiries. These are routine enquiries sent out by companies of all kinds planning excavation work, because they have to check with infrastructure companies whether their work might affect any foreign structures or lines. Experience by supraregional supply companies has shown that there is about one enquiry per kilometre of infrastructure per year which has to be followed up. This may include travelling to site and taking appropriate measures to comply with safety or other technical requirements.

For all these tasks, GasLINE has an organisation of competent and well-trained engineers and technicians available throughout the service area!
