Types of Infrastructure in Urban and Rural Areas
Transportation
- Ground transportation (roads, bridges, tunnels, railroads)
- Air transportation (airports, heliports, ground facilities, air-traffic control)
- Waterways and ports (inland waterways, shipping channels, terminals, dry docks, sea ports)
- Intermodal facilities (rail/airport terminals, truck/rail/port terminals)
- Mass transit (subways, bus transit, light rail, monorails, platforms/ stations)
- Pipelines (natural gas, crude oil)
Water and Waste water
- Water supply (pumping stations, treatment plants, main water lines, wells, mechanical/electric equipment)
- Structures (dams, diversion, levees, tunnels, aqueducts)
- Agricultural water distribution (canals, rivers, weir, gates, dikes)
- Sewers (main sewer lines, septic tanks, treatment plants, storm water drains)
- Storm water drainage (roadside gutters and ditches, streams, levees)
Waste Management
- Solid waste (transport, landfills, treatment plants, recycling facilities)
- Hazardous waste (transport, storage facilities, treatment plants, security)
- Nuclear waste (transport, storage facilities, security)
Energy production and distribution
- Fossil fuel-based electric power production (gas-,oil and coal-fueled power generation)
- Electric power distribution grid networks (high-voltage power- transmission lines, substations, distribution systems, energy-control centers, service and maintenance facilities)
- Gas pipelines (gas production, pipeline, computer stations and control centers, storage tanks, service and maintenance facilities)
- Petroleum/oil production (pumping stations, oil/gas separation plants, roads)
- Petroleum/oil distribution (marine and ground tanker terminals, pipelines, pumping stations, maintenance facilities, storage tanks)
- Nuclear power stations (nuclear reactors, power-generation stations, nuclear-waste disposal facilities, emergency equipment and facilities)
- Renewable energy and non-fossil fuels (infrastructure for solar power, wind power, hydro-electric power, biofuels)
Buildings
- Public buildings (schools, hospitals, government offices, police stations, fire stations, postal offices, prison systems, parking structures)
- Other buildings and structures—public/residential/commercial/offices (public housing, structures, utilities, swimming pools, security, ground access, parking) Multipurpose and sports complexes (coliseums, amphitheaters, convention centers)
- Housing facilities (public, private)
- Industrial, manufacturing/warehouse, and supply chain facilities (private)
Recreation facilities
- Parks and playgrounds (roads, parking areas, recreational facilities, office buildings, restrooms, ornamental fountains, swimming pools, picnic areas)
- Lake and water sports (roads, parking areas, picnic areas, marinas)
- Theme parks/casinos (access roads, buildings, restaurants, security facilities, structures) Hospitals and public health facilities (public, private)
