New digital map of underground pipes and cables expected to grow
economy by GBP5 billion
Project live across England, Wales and Northern Ireland, ahead
of full launch in 2025
A new discovery project announced to assess economic viability
of widening the access to NUAR to other areas of the economy
1Spatial, (AIM: SPA), a global leader in Location Master Data
Management (LMDM) software and solutions , is delighted to note the
UK Government's recent announcement that the National Underground
Asset Register (NUAR) is now available across England, Wales and
Northern Ireland, ahead of becoming fully operational by 2025.
NUAR is a digital map of underground pipes and cables expected
to provide GBP5 billion of economic growth to England, Wales and
Northern Ireland through increased efficiencies in construction and
development, less accidental damage to pipes and cables, and
reduced disruption to the public and businesses (from extended road
closures and congestion), as well as improved workers' safety.
1Spatial is proud to have been an integral part of this
successful project. By leveraging its industry leading platform and
expert team, data collected from a wide variety of asset owners has
now been seamlessly ingested and transformed. This data is stored
in the NUAR database which includes data from all the major energy
and water providers. Providers include Welsh Water, Cadent Gas and
UK Power Networks, several major telecommunications companies
including CityFibre and Virgin Media O2 as well as several smaller
providers and local Authorities.
NUAR is adopting the Open Geospatial Consortium Model for
Underground Data Definition and Integration (MUDDI) which will
improve data standardisation, interoperability, and quality.
Some of the positive impacts of NUAR could include:
-- Providing workers with immediate access to all the data they
need, when they need - reducing time taken from six days to 60
seconds.
-- Improving the efficiency and safety of street works, by
providing secure, instant access to comprehensive privately and
publicly owned location data about underground assets.
It has also been announced that a n ew discovery project is
being launched to explore the potential for increased economic
growth that could be realised through widening access to NUAR. This
could include supporting the rollout of electric vehicle charge
points, flood risk planning, emergency response and
conveyancing.
1Spatial CEO, Claire Milverton , said:
"1Spatial is delighted to be part of the team that are
delivering the National Underground Asset Register ( NUAR), which
demonstrates our world leading geospatial capabilities and our
ability to deliver on complex projects at scale. Our 1Spatial
platform is responsible for transforming, validating, and
maintaining the data from all contributing asset owners,
demonstrating our world leading technology and skilled team.
We are excited about the project to explore widening access to
NUAR, which could enable further economic benefit to be realised
from the asset. It could also provide an upside opportunity for our
1Streetworks solution. "
Alexandra Notay, Independent Commissioner, Geospatial
Commission, said:
"It is fantastic to see the progress being made on delivering
the core 'safe dig' use case that NUAR is intended to meet, and I
am very proud of the team at the Geospatial Commission for
delivering this collaborative project for and with a wide range of
industry stakeholders. The supportive statements from users in the
project update is a testament to the value that NUAR is already
bringing to those who manage our underground assets."
