Report on the Replacement of Insulating Joints in Wallbach and Lostorf

Projekt Austausch der Isolierkupplungen

Project Overview

As part of a maintenance project, the conductive/defective isolating joints (IJ) in the Wallbach and Lostorf areas were replaced. This measure was necessary because the existing insulating joints had become conductive and therefore had to be replaced to ensure operational safety.
