The Government’s National Underground Asset Register<\/a> (NUAR), which represents a new digital UK map of underground pipes and cables (broadband, power, water etc.) – intended to help reduce accidental damage, has released a progress update that suggests the map could be expanded and possibly even made accessible to the public.<\/p>\n

The Government believes there is huge potential for such location maps from telecoms, energy, water and other providers, which can be used to improve the way that national infrastructure is planned, built and managed (e.g. future full fibre broadband and 5G<\/a> mobile networks). The map could also cut the amount of accidental damage that occurs to existing infrastructure (one estimate suggested this costs up to \u00a32.4bn<\/strong> each year) and boost economic growth by \u201cat least<\/em>\u201d \u00a3350m per year due to increased efficiency, fewer asset strikes and reduced disruptions.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Scotland has already built a similar map via the \u2018Scottish Road Works Register\u2019.<\/div>\n

The NUAR – developed alongside Ordnance Survey<\/a> (OS) and Atkins – is the solution they came up with, which has already launched in its Minimum Viable Product<\/strong> (MVP) form across the North East of England, Wales, East and West Midlands and London. The map is this month also being made available across the rest of England, while Northern Ireland is expected to follow during Spring 2024.<\/p>\n

At present the focus of their early launch work is still on delivering the critical safe dig use case for the map. But the latest progress update notes how 75% of respondents to a recent public consultation were supportive of expanding the prescribed use cases for NUAR beyond “safe digging<\/em>” and increasing access to the data – potentially including giving access to members of the public.<\/p>\n

Tentative Proposals to Expand the NUAR<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

However, with the MVP now available across the whole of England and Wales, and work progressing on updating existing legislation, we believe that now is the right time to explore the potential market opportunities and increased benefits that could be realised through widening secure and controlled access to the vital national asset that stakeholders believe NUAR will become.<\/p>\n

Through feedback, and the public consultation, we have identified a number of opportunities where additional value could be delivered. This includes making NUAR data:<\/p>\n

\u27a4 available to other user groups for safe digging purposes (e.g. surveyors, land owners and members of the public)<\/p>\n

\u27a4 available to support other use cases (e.g. electric vehicle chargepoint rollout, flood risk planning, emergency response, conveyancing, property development, etc.)<\/p>\n

\u27a4 accessible via third party intermediaries \/ APIs, rather than solely via the NUAR user interface<\/p>\n

However, these opportunities do not come without constraints and risks, and we envisage that they have the support of among others, the asset owner and national security communities to warrant consideration.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The project team now expects to spend part of the coming year carrying out discovery work, as well as collaborating with individuals and organisations who are interested in such opportunities to test their feasibility and value. “We will also include provision in the updates to existing legislation to make it possible for NUAR data to be securely accessed for purposes other than safe digging<\/em>,” said the government’s update.<\/p>\n

As such it’s too early to tell how much of this will end up being implemented, which we’d image has to be carefully managed due to various issues, such as security and commercial sensitivity. The government will also need to ensure that any expansion not only delivers economic and social benefits, but also has the support of asset owners and other stakeholders.<\/p>\n
