Welcome to our monthly update on the National Underground Asset Register (NUAR), an interactive digital map of underground pipes and cables from the Geospatial Commission. It gives planners and excavators standardised access to the data they need, when they need it, to carry out their work effectively and safely. You can find out more on GOV.UK.
NUAR wins an award
We are extremely proud that NUAR won the Digital Innovation in Productivity award at the Digital Construction Awards last week. This category recognised the use of digitalisation, digital methodologies and technologies to enhance the productivity of construction workers.
Congratulations to the whole NUAR team and a huge thank you to all the underground asset owners that have collaborated with us to bring NUAR to life.
Over 400 DEAs agreed
In our last edition, we confirmed that over 200 underground asset owners have now published data on NUAR. Last month, we had our 400th underground asset owner sign one of our Data Exploration Agreements (DEAs).
These agreements enable us to access and transform an underground asset owner’s data, ready for display on NUAR and is a key stage in the NUAR onboarding journey.
“From first introduction, the NUAR team have plainly defined and managed milestones, allowing Greenlink to be fully onboarded in a clear and efficient manner. Thank you.”
Matt Gibson, Project Manager, Greenlink Interconnector (who signed our 400th DEA)
NUAR Onboarding in 60
If you are an underground asset owner that is not fully signed up to NUAR yet, why not join one of our new ‘NUAR Onboarding in 60’ webinars?
Gabi Chamberlain (AtkinsRéalis) will provide you with an overview of the onboarding journey, explain the legal agreements that underpin that process and confirm the next steps to progress your journey.
Sign-up for Wednesday 24 July here.
Get onboard
If you work for an underground asset owner that operates in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, that you do not think is fully signed up to NUAR yet, contact our onboarding team by emailing our Service Desk at [email protected].
If you are a contractor working on behalf of an asset owner, please contact them to see if they can provide you access.
