REPAIR MANAGEMENT

A cable repair requires careful planning and management. Locating the fault, securing a repair vessel and beginning operations requires specialized experience. During repairs, processes are documented, spares are managed, and suppliers are evaluated for cost and performance. GBS works to contribute to your success through customized solutions that reduce schedule and cost while assuring that your cable system’s performance meets or exceeds each of your requirements.

DISASTER RECOVERY

If a cable disruption occurs, GBS engages a comprehensive range of efforts that work on behalf of our customer to negotiate, research, connect, assign and implement all of the services, experts and equipment necessary to identify the issue and employ the solution in full coordination with the customer.

When the repair is resolved, reports and debriefings are conducted and shared. Actions are taken to deter future issues.
