Swedish term

alt. (here)

Swedish to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering Railways
I skarvspår skall underhållsarbete undvikas alt. avslutas när skarvöppningarna slutits över en längre sträcka (mer än 5 skarvar i följd).

My first reaction to this sentence is that it is missing something, but perhaps it is I who am missing something?
