Power lines in urban utility tunnels
Urban utility tunnel power lines refer to power cable systems centrally installed within underground utility tunnels. These systems integrate high-, medium-, and low-voltage cables into a single underground corridor, where they are planned, constructed, and managed alongside utility lines for water supply, drainage, heating, and telecommunications. By enabling the intensive installation of power lines, the system eliminates the need for repeated road excavations, prevents damage to the urban landscape, and mitigates safety hazards associated with traditional direct-burial or overhead methods, thereby significantly enhancing space utilization efficiency. The internal environment facilitates cable heat dissipation, fire and moisture protection, and intelligent monitoring and maintenance; as such, it serves as core infrastructure for ensuring safe and reliable urban power supply while enhancing the resilience and modernization of the power grid.
