Tunnels should be equipped with a gantry for lifting heavy equipment, such as valves. Figure 7 Example of heavy lifting equipment – [Source: Abu Dhabi Utility Corridors Design Manual, b-1] The utility tunnels should support their own weight as well as the weight of all installed equipment in (or on) the structures. The utility tunnels should support the weight and forces of all movable and active components and systems in (or on) the structures. For example, the steel cable trays should be able to carry the weight of the proposed number of cables Utility pipes and cables should be secured and fixed in their locations in the tunnel; for example, cables should be supported with cable cleats every 1.0 1.5 m – Optical fibre and electrical cables need to be protected against rodents chewing the PVC. Some cables are specified to be rodent resistant.

In August 2012, GIFT won the most prestigious award in the category of 'Best Industrial Development & Expansion' at the 'Infrastructure Investment Awards 2012' organized by – World Finance Group. GIFT Project was considered of world class value in terms of its potential for enabling economy growth in the region through the relocation and centralization of India's financial – and IT sectors and in providing the turn-key location for global financial & IT firms."
