Update on the National Underground Asset Register

In this webinar, Bob Chell, our Chief Product Officer, presents alongside Guy Ledger, Atkins and Helen Markides, Greater London Authority (GLA) to give you an update on the National Underground Asset Register (NUAR).

During the webinar, you will hear an overview of the NUAR project, our approach and progress to date and timelines for the future.

NUAR is part of the Government’s efforts to build back better and greener, with tangible benefits, and speed up the delivery of housing and infrastructure projects from design to build.

Fast access to underground asset data will save utilities companies and local authorities time and money, and reduce the disruption caused in trying to fix leaks and put in new infrastructure.  Over four million holes are dug in the UK each year and the economic cost of accidental utility damage is around £2.4 billion each year.

The new digital map of underground pipes and cables will help improve efficiencies in construction and development, reduce disruption and improve workers’ safety.
