Utility Tunnelling
Underground Solutions Provider
With the continuous development of cities, the utilization of underground space is becoming increasingly important. The construction of public utility tunnelling can enable the rational planning and efficient utilization of underground space. Public utility tunnelling can centralize the placement of multiple municipal pipelines such as power, communications, water supply, drainage, and gas, making the maintenance and management of various pipelines more convenient and efficient. It also saves urban underground space and reserves room for the further development of cities in the future and the expansion of underground facilities.
As an equipment manufacturer that best understands construction and a comprehensive service provider that is most proficient in manufacturing, China Railway Engineering Equipment Group Co., Ltd. adheres to a customer-centered concept and is committed to providing customers with all-round comprehensive solutions. With the help of tunnel boring machines of different diameters, it can make tunnel construction under various geological conditions safer, better and faster.

Trend
Lacked safely managed drinking water services
Even before COVID-19 struck, the world was off track to meet Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6) – the goal of ensuring water and sanitation for all by 2030.
Two billion people (26% of the world's population) still lacked drinking water services on premises, available when needed and free from contamination in 2020. None of the SDG 6 regions are currently on track to achieve universal coverage by 2030. In sub-Saharan Africa, the number of people lacking safely managed drinking water has increased by more than 40% since 2000.
771 million people still lacked even basic drinking water services in 2020. Among these, eight out of 10 lived in rural areas. Nearly half lived in least developed countries.
The number of city inhabitants lacking safely managed drinking water has nearly doubled since 2000. Achieving universal access to safely managed drinking water by 2030 will require a fourfold increase in current rates of progress, including a substantial increase in current levels of investment.

Achieving universal access to basic drinking water by 2030 will require a doubling of current rates of progress, and achieving universal access to safely managed drinking water by 2030 will require a quadrupling of current rates of progress.
