French term

astreinte et déclenchement 24/24h et 7/7j

French to English Tech/Engineering Engineering: Industrial snow clearance service
This phrase is used to describe a snow clearance service offered by an industrial manitenance compajny. The whole sentence is
'Déneigement  Astreinte et déclenchement 24/24h et 7/7j' - I think it is something like 'on call and on demand, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week' but can anyone confirm this please?
Proposed translations (English)
3 +4 on standby and on call 24/7

Selected

on standby and on call 24/7

I think it might be better to explain it this way round:
astreinte: we're standing by
déclenchement: you can get hold of us
