Benefits and Disadvantages of Using No Disruption Repair Techniques

Abstract

This project undertook a review of the comparative benefits and disadvantages of no disruption repair methods against those of traditional repair methods, with the objective of assessing whether the choice of repair method affects the risk of network failure in the short-, medium-, and long-term. Research partner: UKWIR. Published in 2015.

As of February 2021, the No Disruption Repair Decision Support Tool is no longer available. For questions, please contact us.
