With large concentrations of people in limited space, it has become necessary to utilize the subsurface for locating a growing number of services in urban environments:

These installations are designed to conform to the basic pattern of the overhead surface plan.

As an area increases in density, this space becomes cluttered with supply lines. One way to accommodate the growing demand for conduits is to place them in somewhat deeper tunnels freed from the general plan of the surface.

Excavated in soft ground or rock, these utility tunnels are not bound to the surface design. Because such tunnels are generally situated deeper than trench pipes, they are able to avoid the aged near-surface infrastructure during construction.

Therefore, as these supply lines are tunneled rather than dug directly from the surface there is no interruption of surface traffic, causing also less disruption and damage to existing installations.
