    Construction process for the implementation of urban utility tunnels in historic centres
    (Elsevier, 2019) Valdenebro García, José Vicente; Gimena Ramos, Faustino; López Rodríguez, José Javier; Ingeniería; Ingeniaritza
    Nowadays, there are many cities that have chosen to build urban utility tunnels (UUTs) in new urban enlargements to house and order the large number of utility networks that should be located in the subsoil. UUTs are a smart and sustainable solution for the future because, in spite of its high initial cost in comparison with the traditional burial system, enable preventive, predictive and corrective maintenance much more agile, less annoying and less expensive. However, only in exceptional cases municipal authorities have opted to use this type of underground constructions as a key element for the renewal and regeneration of the historical centres of their cities. The main reason for this is the constructive difficulty that is added to the higher cost of the initial investment. The origin of this difficulty is mainly motivated because: these urban areas are inhabited and, therefore, utility networks must be maintained in operation during the construction works; the streets are very narrow, which makes the execution of works and the movement of vehicles and machines difficult while at the same time allowing access for people to homes and businesses; and most of the buildings next to the construction site work have poor quality foundations and structures, so opening deep trenches in their proximity implies taking great risks. This paper proposes a construction process to be followed for the implementation of UUTs in historic centres under the premise of maintaining utilities without interruptions during the works and, at the same time, guaranteeing the security of workers, inhabitants, consumers and pre-existing properties. This construction process has been used in the urban renewal works of the historic centre of Pamplona (Spain).

    The transformation of a trade fair and exhibition centre into a field hospital for COVID-19 patients via multi-utility tunnels
    (Elsevier, 2021) Valdenebro García, José Vicente; Gimena Ramos, Faustino; López Rodríguez, José Javier; Ingeniería; Ingeniaritza
    This article exposes, through the case study of the IFEMA trade fair and exhibition centre in Madrid (Spain), the benefits of using a multi-utility tunnels (MUTs) system as a smart and sustainable solution for the distribution of utility networks in buildings, or in complexes made up of several buildings, to enable their quick and continuous adaptation. The saturation of the health system in the capital of Spain, motivated by the COVID-19 pandemic, forced the authorities in Madrid to improvise an emergency centre in this building. The multi-utility tunnels system was the key enabling element to deploy the necessary networks, including those for medical gases, to convert several exhibition halls into a field hospital with a maximum capacity of 5000 conventional beds and another 500 Intensive Care Unit beds, in just 100 h.

    Caracterización del modelo HEC-HMS en la cuenca de río Arga en Pamplona y su aplicación a cinco avenidas significativas

    Pamplona es una ciudad que es atravesada por el río Arga a lo largo de una llanura aluvial, que es susceptible de inundaciones cuando se producen avenidas de cierta magnitud. Ante esta situación es importante contar con un modelo hidrológico que permita simular los caudales del río que atraviesa el núcleo urbano, a partir de los datos de los distintos pluviómetros existentes en la cuenca, y que sirva para alimentar a modelos hidráulicos que permitan definir las zonas inundables asociadas a distintos niveles de probabilidad. Con esta finalidad, se ha montado y caracterizado el modelo HEC-HMS de la cuenca del río Arga en Pamplona, y posteriormente, se ha aplicado a las cinco avenidas más significativas de los últimos años, de las que se disponen de los mínimos datos de caudal y precipitación necesarios. HEC-HMS es un modelo lluviaescorrentía que se basa en estructurar la cuenca origen en subcuencas asociadas a los cauces de la red fluvial. El flujo base en los hidrogramas observados se ha estimado mediante el filtro de Eckhardt. Después de realizar un análisis de sensibilidad de los parámetros inciertos del modelo, en el que se ha observado que el más sensible es el CN, se ha aplicado el modelo con los datos de las series de precipitación de las estaciones automáticas, y con los datos de las automáticas más las manuales, en este segundo caso los resultados han mejorado significativamente obteniéndose resultados satisfactorios.
