VANCOUVER, British Columbia - TelAve -- Axis Technical Services, a leading provider of advanced fibre optic and communications infrastructure solutions, proudly announces the successful completion of a high-profile project for Alta Gas at the Forrest Kerr hydroelectric facility, located over 1,000 kilometers northwest of Vancouver, BC. This critical infrastructure upgrade, which spans several BC Hydro facilities, underscores AxisTech's expertise in large-scale, industrial fibre optic installations in remote and challenging environments.

Project Overview
Alta Gas, a major North American energy infrastructure company, approached AxisTech to support fibre optic termination testing, installation, and security solutions for three of their BC Hydro facilities: Forrest Kerr, Volcano Creek, and McLymont Creek. The Forrest Kerr facility, an expansive six-turbine hydroelectric plant, was the focal point of the project, requiring complex fibre optic network integration to ensure seamless communication and control of the plant's operations.
