With the increasing speed of urbanization, urban underground infrastructures, such as underground utility networks and tunnels, have been an important part of cities to provide essential services to urban life. Similar to other infrastructure, the lifecycle of underground infrastructure projects includes di...
Mozambique plans to end half a century of hydropower supply to South Africa’s state-owned electricity utility, raising risks for the continent’s most industrialized economy and threatening the viability of Africa’s second-biggest aluminum smelter. In the country’s yet-to-be published energy tra...
Conducting a GPR Survey A GPR survey is performed using the same principles outlined in the seven-step process shown on our Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR) Technology UtilityScan Module page.Advantages of GPR Technology for Concrete Imaging No site hazards or need to close off work areas as ...
including the selective undergrounding of power lines. This collaborative effort has resulted in the refinement of utility "vegetation management practices" – selective pruning of trees and bushes to avoid contact with power lines and transformers – in the state as well as a simulation model to ...
This algorithm has been tested many times in various problems that have used data collected by a variety of methods, and has been implemented in many software utility programs. The CPD algorithm, introduced by Myronenko and Song [55] and Myronenko et al. [56], is a probabilistic method ...
The purposes of the grants vary, from covering out-of-pocket medical expenses and co-pays to funding non-healthcare expenses. The latter may include paying for such expenses as utility bills, mortgage or rent payments, transportation, and childcare. ...

We made a dummy variable of whether the utility line along the road is undergrounded or not (Yes: 1, No: 0). If only a part of the road has undergrounded lines, we regarded the road as an undergrounded road. Undergrounding utility lines may have spatial spillover effects. The effects...
Surface space in metropolitan areas has invaluable importance but also does an optimized transport and public utility systems, which led to underground solutions such as subway tunnels and road passages as well as buried pipes for drainage, sewage, and cables in general, among other facilities....
Wi-SUN technology is used for smart utility networks in smart cities, e.g., advanced metering infrastructure and smart traffic lighting or in smart agriculture application. The city of Miami uses Wi-SUN-enabled devices to connect nearly 500,000 streetlights within a mesh network [104]. To the...
