“…are recorded as B, which can be calculated by the following formula: (8) ③ This paper introduces 5 levels of gray value, and they are 1, 3,5,7,9 respectively. So the grey level value vector C = (1,3,5,7,9), the evaluation value of the project's general goal is: (9) According to the value of Z, we can determine the rating of risk and take appropriate measures to process and control the risk scientifically.…”

“…The center is developed using the room and pillar mining method. The main concept of the paper is that creating an underground space for a particular use is not enough, especially in countries attempting to develop their underground logistics systems [3]. The key point is to prove that such underground facilities can be as functional as a respective surface system, and the same time, are economically competitive.…”

Urban underground logistics system is a newly emerging concept, and there is no molded sample project to provide reference information. So there exists much uncertainty in its development, and such uncertainty will have some impact on overall development of the system. In this paper, gray analytic hierarchy process analysis will be used to evaluate the risk factors in the development of urban underground logistics system. And then, we use the empirical analysis to quantify the risk of the development of urban underground logistics and provide references for the development of urban underground logistics system.

“…Society is not sustainable without a proper infrastructure planning (Berner, 2002;Hunt and Rogers, 2005;Wang, 2008). Efforts to achieve sustainability must include innovation to all types of infrastructure including underground (Thibault et al, 2003;Zevgolis et al, 2004;Zhang, 2009). Planning for an urban subsurface sustainable future consists of the ability to lessen the use of traditional trenching techniques.…”

Throughout the centuries, utilities have been an important and sometimes decisive instrument in human development. Municipal policy-makers and engineers have been playing a key role in improving management and technology of urban utilities. With the growth of urban areas and the corresponding increased demand for utility services, available underground space will continue to diminish. Therefore, planning for an urban subsurface sustainable future consists of the ability to lessen the use of traditional trenching techniques and developing coordinated installations of utilities. As an innovative problem-solving technique, utility tunnels become inevitable to reduce congestion of the shallow underground. Utilities management becomes more complex as many public authorities and private companies are involved. Because of the complexity of ownership of the various utility tunnel potential occupants, some form of governmental ownership would probably be the most practicable, although other forms (individual private, joint private, or condominium) of ownership must be analysed. Whatever the form of financing and ownership, some single entity must be made responsible not only for initial construction but also for security, access control, and operation and maintenance throughout the life of the project. The purpose of this paper is to point out some of the utility tunnels innovation and organizational advantages to encourage municipal engineers to demand sustainable solutions for services congestion. Proper adequate governance and security management should be key elements of every decision undertaken in utility tunnels.

“…Unfortunately the lack of data and the difficulty in quantifying the intangibles has made it impossible to arrive at a reasonably accurate figure of overall negative impact on the urban environment of street cuts [14][15]. Sustainable development of underground space not just calls for using underground space, but using it to combine functions and to create value in doing so for society [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. Establishing future sustainable strategies in urban underground engineering consists of the ability to lessen the use of traditional trenching [24,25].…”

Placement of utilities has not been generally accomplished in any sustainable technique resulting in a veritable maze in high density urban areas. As underground space scarcity grows in our cities due to the increasing demands for utility services, subsurface facilities such as utility tunnels are becoming more efficient in providing the required infrastructure. There is a growing public awareness of aesthetic considerations and impatience with street cuts and their associated costs, traffic interferences, noise and accidental utility cuts. Unfortunately the lack of data and the difficulty in quantifying the intangibles has made it impossible to arrive at a reasonably accurate figure of overall negative impact on the urban environment of street cuts. Due to this, current practices of traditional trenching depending only on cost indicators remain as first option in urban planning instead of more sustainable techniques, like utility tunnels. However, it is well known that intangible costs to the public and the utilities might make the utility tunnel concept to be economically feasible in the long run. This paper presents a methodology based on AHP and Delphi processes for the selection of utilities placement techniques in which the intangibles are also assessed to avoid short-sighted urban underground planning. HighlightsQuantifying intangibles is a key factor to study negative impact of street cuts. Only use of cost indicators make traditional trenching to remain as first option. Intangible costs might make utility tunnel concept to be feasible in the long term. A methodology based on AHP and Delphi avoids short-sighted underground planning.
