Power utility CEM, which has been granted a concession for managing the city’s utility tunnels, will be tasked with coordinating with the city’s various other public utilities on the use of its utility tunnels, and also with carrying out real-time monitoring of the utility tunnels 24/7, according to the agreement signed between the government and CEM published in the Official Gazette (BO) yesterday.
While the city’s future utility tunnels will be managed by CEM, they will be built by the government.
According to Wikipedia, a utility tunnel is a passage built underground or above ground to carry utility lines such as electricity, steam, water supply pipes, and sewer pipes. Communication utilities like fibre optics, cable TV, and telephone cables also sometime use utility tunnels.
