Two months after the planned closing date of customers in the copper network, Skanova's contractor receives a demolition order. The order contains detailed information on which plants to demolish and which to keep.

The work is planned based on the season and coordination with other renovations to reduce the environmental impact. Before work can begin, permission is sought from the Swedish Transport Administration, the County Administrative Board and landowners. Containers for recycling are placed. The posts that are in good condition are reused if necessary. After the work is completed, a final inspection of the area is carried out. It takes up to a year for a total demolition of the copper network, after the work has been ordered.

Yes, our contractors should always contact the affected landowners for future demolition.

Sometimes a job we or our contractors do can have unwanted consequences. If your telephony and/or internet services are affected by the possible damage, you should always contact your operator to report your services incorrectly. If your services are not affected by the possible damage, you will find more information and can make a report to natet.telia.se.

No, there may still be deployed cables in the posts. To order a temporary takedown, you can book your case through our contractor on +46 (0)31-3108029. The service is normally free of charge (with a couple of exceptions, such as in your own management on your own plot and larger transport). We need a foresight of at least 10 working days for this type of assignment.

All overhead lines leading up to the building will be taken down. Other cables are the property owner's responsibility.

No, we do not have the right to conduct management (according to the Management Law Act) on all parts of the network. Management rights exist primarily for so-called national cables. The management rights do not automatically cease, but a surveying ordinance is required for this.

No, buried cables are not normally dug up. If there are special reasons such as that the management is obstructive to any work to be carried out, it can be removed by Skanova.

Yes, all above ground facilities that are not needed will be removed. This can take up to a year and until then, the network should be considered operational. Skanova is grateful if any damage to cabinets and poles is reported to Skanova during this time.

If Telia has decided that the telecommunications station will be demolished, this will take place some time after the network is closed and in connection with this a reset will be made. Please note that some buildings will be retained even if the copper network is decommissioned, as they are used for fibre networks and/or the mobile network. Telia will contact the landowners on whose properties Telia has a building that Telia has decided to sell/demolish.

Some telecommunications stations will be decommissioned and offered for sale, removal or will be demolished. Telia will contact the landowners on whose properties where Telia has buildings that Telia no longer uses.

Skanova will not normally dig up any of its copper wires. If the operator is interested in taking up their cable, this can be ordered by Skanova. We'll then pick up the copper line and release it. This also applies to the part that is inside the telephone station.

If the copper line is located in a ducting, the work is facilitated. The same procedure applies to suspended operator-owned fibre cables. All work is paid for by the operator. Work can begin no earlier than 6 weeks after the copper network has been shut down. If the operator is not interested in removing their cable, it will remain. An agreement must be made with the operator that they have the right to destroy their cable up to the plot boundary, if necessary, in connection with, for example, the demolition of the telecommunications station. The agreement is made at a regular operator customer meeting before the copper network is shut down.

Yes, as a precaution, release/marking should always be requested, as there may be other cables that are still in use in the same routing. Use www.ledningskollen.se to get notified.

Use www.ledningskollen.se to see which ones are in operation.

In principle, all telecommunications networks shall be considered operational. There may be other deployed cables in the same shaft as those that are no longer in use. You should always contact www.ledningskollen.se.
