Wet Element Naming Harmonisation for Sumarine Networks - Whitepaper

From the inception of a network project down the road to its operation and maintenance, there is a need for a clear and efficient naming of the elements of that network. Naming is part of the creation process of the network design. During that design phase, one of the

challenges is the robustness and stability of the names, while, during the first stages of network design, the content and the configuration of the project can vary. Elements may then need to be renamed to keep some logic and legibility, therefore generating a challenge for the traceability. Also, some network topologies can raise some questions about the most relevant strategy for naming. Additionally, some harmonisation can be beneficial for operation and maintenance, especially when third parties like marine maintenance service providers are involved.

For a comprehensive look at strategies, challenges, and best practices for harmonising wet element naming in submarine networks, we invite you to download the full paper.
