Document Summary:
This paper aims to fulfil this research need by investigating the effect of these influences on the economic viability of various types of MUTs. The results indicate that MUTs can provide a more economically sustainable method of utility placement in all three local contexts, with the tipping points occurring where street works are likely more frequent and/or where utility density is high.

Highlights
- Sustainability costs for open-cut construction require exploration within a DTF.
- The long-term advantages of MUTs outweigh the short-term disadvantages.
- Economic competitiveness of MUTs is possible in undeveloped & urban areas.
- Pipe no. and diameter are highly influential on tipping points in undeveloped areas.
