Citi Housing’s qualified and resourceful Engineering Wing has provided service corridors to carry buried utility cables of power and telecommunications and pipelines of natural gas, water, and sewage. Whatever residents need, Citi get them where they want it and when they want it. Power & Telecommunications Cables: Citi Housing has undergrounded overhead power and telecommunications (fiber optics, cable television, and telephone) cables. Direct burial power cable is a special type cable that is designed to be run in a trench underground without the use of conduit to surround it. The electrical wires are encased in a thermoplastic sheath that seals out moisture and protects the wires within. Undergrounding cost of burying cables is several times greater than overhead power lines. Buried power lines are protected from the wind, tree damage and heavy rains that are common causes of outages, and so suffer fewer weather or vegetation-related outages. Benefits of using underground cables:
To maintain the life of the human community, and in order to facilitate the life, many important inventions were discovered. There is no doubt that the most important of these inventions is electricity, which we depend on in the current modern time. We better understand the importance of electricity in our life during a few minutes of power outages we encounter. The people’s social life almost stops in power outages. They do not know what to do. They cannot carry out activities thay made a habit of. For instance, computer and television, that we are addicted to, are the best examples of these. This is an indicator of how much electricity is important in our lives. Planned and unplanned power failures may be short-term or a long-term loss of the electricity from SOURCE. There are many causes of power failures in an electricity network. Examples of these causes include faults at power stations, damage to electric transmission lines, substations or other parts of the distribution system, a short circuit, or the overloading of electricity mains. Power failures are particularly critical during extreme hot and cold climate putting public safety are at risk. In order to eliminate consequences of a daily and frequent power outages, Citi Housing has made an elaborate arrangement for supply of uninterrupted electricity for domestic usage to provide peace of mind and improve quality of life of residents. Standby generating sets are selected based on the electrical load they are intended to supply, the electrical load's characteristics such as kW, kVA, harmonic content, surge currents (e.g., motor starting current) and non-linear loads. The expected duty (such as emergency, prime or continuous power) as well as environmental conditions (such as altitude, temperature and exhaust emissions regulations) are also taken into consideration. Citi Housing’s power generation supported by state-of-the-art underground cables network is meant to ensure uninterrupted power supply to every household, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The amenity offers comfortable lifestyle where residents can enjoy every season and every moment of their life to the fullest.
Reducing the distance between people, markets, services and knowledge – or simply ‘getting people connected’ – is a great part of what Citi Housing is all about. Citi roads network have meticulously been built to connect the various phases and amenities creating a sense of community like no one else does. Residents are able to benefit from the amenities & facilities with ease. The road network maintains the criticality of smooth flow of traffic. Roads are like arteries in the human body, if any gets choked, the entire system suffers. There is a very strong positive correlation between a country's economic development and the quality of its road network. There are different type of roads constructed within Citi Housing, for example, boulevard, main road, street etc. and each type has its own importance and requirement. Citi Housing’s road structure includes all road categories, facilities, structures, signage and markings, electrical systems, needed to provide for safe, trouble-free and efficient traffic.
Commercial areas in Citi Housing are primarily composed of commercial buildings for banks, retails shops, office complexes, shopping malls, service stations and restaurants etc. Commercial activity includes the buying and selling of goods and services in retail businesses, wholesale buying and selling, banking and a wide variety of uses that are broadly classified as "business." Commercial activities generate employment, facilitate the flow of money, and also serve many other roles important to the community, such as public gathering and cultural events. Residents of Citi Housing have no fear of being caught unprepared in a surprise guest visit, last date for payment of utility bills, and/or emergency need for cash. Citi Housing’s commercial areas are designed and managed to store all the retail items of daily and specific consumption.
