KUALA Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) has been busy mapping out 90,000sq m of underground utility assets running underneath the Federal capital since 2009.

These assets include underground infrastructure like water and sewerage, gas, telco and electrical lines as well as the Integrated Transport Information System (ITIS). To put that figure into perspective, the area covers about 15 football fields.
