The National Underground Asset Register

Under Construction

A digital map of underground pipes and cables that provides instant data access for planners and excavators. Additional copy to be added, the description must be at least 150 characters.

Every 7 seconds, a hole is dug somewhere in the UK. To ensure safe digging, owners of the UK’s 4 million km of underground pipes and cables must share location data – but currently, excavators must spend valuable time contacting different asset owners and analysing this data before they can dig. To solve this, the Geospatial Commission is building a National Underground Asset Register, a digital map of underground pipes and cables that provides instant data access for planners and excavators.
