Welcome to our monthly update on the National Underground Asset Register (NUAR), an interactive digital map of underground pipes and cables from the Geospatial Commission. It gives planners and excavators standardised access to the data they need, when they need it, to carry out their work effectively and safely. You can find out more on GOV.UK

The Geospatial Commission has announced Ordnance Survey (OS) as the future operator of NUAR and that eligible organisations will be able to roll the service out across their workforces from next spring. Read the press release on GOV.UK to find out more.
NUAR Onboarding in 60
If you are an underground asset owner that is not fully signed up to NUAR yet, why not join one of our new ‘NUAR Onboarding in 60’ webinars? Gabi Chamberlain (AtkinsRéalis) will provide you with an overview of the onboarding journey, explain the legal agreements that underpin that process and confirm the next steps to progress your journey. Sign-up for Wednesday 23 October here.
Get onboard
If you work for an underground asset owner that operates in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, that you do not think is fully signed up to NUAR yet, contact our onboarding team by emailing our Service Desk at [email protected].
If you are a contractor working on behalf of an asset owner, please contact them to see if they can provide you access.
