Front cover of the NUAR Project Update report

In April 2019, we announced a twelve month pilot project to validate our assumptions and the feasibility of creating a secure and trusted national register of buried infrastructure data to enable safer and more efficient working.

The pilot phase of the projects in London and the North East of England have now finished and we have produced this update report which includes objectives of the pilots, lessons learnt and next steps towards a national roll out.
