I had spent a very good deal of my time looking for someone to explain this subject clearly and you're the only one that ever did that. Kudos to you!

I attended a Kenya Power stakeholder workshop on its proposed undergrounding of its power lines in Nairobi which was attended by all the major engineers involved in infrastructure: Kenya Urban Roads Authority, Kenya Rural Roads Authority, Nairobi City Council City Engineers department, KPLC, Nairobi Water and Sewerage, the PC, telecom operators etc etc.<br /><br />What emerged is that there is just no organization. The City Planning department for some reason does not avail maps of existing infrastructure yet it is the one which issues permits, KURA grants the wayleaves but claims it does not have maps of what infrastructure exists as it only took over from the City Council recently...KRRA on the other hand says it writes to the likes of KPLC to share their plans so it can incorporate them in its road designs but the utility never responds...City Council on the other hand says people should take care of their own infrastructure......basically there is just no common information. Apparently, a joint committee was formed to look into sharing infrastructure in future developments but already some people claim shifting existing works is too expensive. The whole thing is just a mess.SCRIBE INTERNATIONALhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13625577844625925107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7105676869432380954.post-75299511802446290032012-03-14T07:03:34.672-07:002012-03-14T07:03:34.672-07:00A simple GIS system showing the precise location o...A simple GIS system showing the precise location of such crucial infrastructure can greatly minimize if not eliminate such occurrences. Road contractors should be encouraged to invest in such digital systems, and the govt should push for the digitization of these crucial installments. Ships that grace our harbor in Msa have highly tech undersea radar systems that can detect the depth of the seabed, why not include location of the undersea cables?? Such cases of cables being cut by road contractors should be unheard of!chapakitihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09744220360310034818noreply@blogger.com
