Event Type

Join us for a webinar on the National Underground Asset Register (NUAR). This webinar will showcase how NUAR is set to revolutionise the way we manage underground infrastructure in the UK and its impact upon planning and land management by giving users access to data from all asset owners in a matter of second rather than days.

The Geospatial Commission is spearheading the creation of a digital map of underground pipes and cables, known as the National Underground Asset Register (NUAR). This initiative aims to transform the installation, maintenance, operation, and repair of buried infrastructure, significantly enhancing efficiency and safety. A BETA version of the software is currently live in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, with intent to be fully operational by 2025.

The NUAR is projected to contribute massively to economic growth in the UK and its essential to keep on top of its progress and benefits. As well as its impact upon the economy we will also explore its relevance to surveyors, construction and other elements of the built environment.
