NUAR in a Nutshell

How have government and the underground utilities industry collaborated to build the National Underground Asset Register (NUAR)? Creating a single database that shows all buried assets across England, Wales and Northern Ireland is a challenge, but holds the potential to generate over £350 million in savings across the economy, and to allow better quality surveying across industry. This talk will explain how the Geospatial Commission has worked with private sector providers to support the owners of buried assets to share their data, and to build a service that revolutionise the way we install, maintain, operate and repair our buried infrastructure. What challenges have we faced, and how has NUAR evolved to meet those challenges? We will also look forward to the next stages of NUAR and how it will continue to develop in partnership with industry.
