Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee
has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely
with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types
of ISO document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the
ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).

Introduction
A utility tunnel is typically constructed underground to carry pipelines. A utility tunnel is also used to carry
communications cables such as telecommunication cables, radio cables and television cables.
In a smart community, a utility tunnel is an important part of the infrastructure that accesses energy
distribution, city information / data acquisition as well as transmission systems, while also being crucial for
the redistribution of social resources. It is a valuable aspect of public infrastructure and a lifeline to ease the
congestion of community traffic by fully utilizing the community underground space.
If the utility tunnel is well-planned, constructed and managed, it can have the following advantages:
— effectively conserves underground space;
— reduces the need for repetitive road /
