The utility tunnel at GIFT City represents a groundbreaking approach to urban infrastructure, designed as a "digging-free city" solution. By housing all utilities within this tunnel, the need for road excavation for future repairs, maintenance, or upgrades is eliminated. This innovative design ensures the uninterrupted delivery of services while preserving the integrity of developed areas.
Key Features:
- Segregated Utility Tunnel: Divided into dry sections for power and ICT cables and wet sections for piping, enhancing safety and efficiency.
- Access and Safety Provisions: Includes smooth access, drainage, lighting, security, ventilation, rodent control, access control, dewatering, and fire protection systems.
- Multi-Utility Housing: Accommodates power cables, chilled water pipelines to and from the District Cooling Plant, raw and treated water pipes to and from the Water Treatment Plant, treated sewage pipes for reuse, automated waste pipelines, and multi-utility water pipes.
- Uninterrupted Services: Ensures continuous service delivery across GIFT City without disrupting developed areas, simplifying future maintenance and upgrades.
