Ordnance Survey digs deep to prevent costly cable strikes
Briefly

Ordnance Survey aims to partner with a tech supplier for the National Underground Asset Register to manage data from utilities companies, addressing £2.4 billion in infrastructure damage costs annually. The NUAR program, now in beta, employs a Safe-Dig User Interface, enhancing efficiency and safety for telecoms, gas, and water companies involved in underground works. It intends to standardize access to data for planners and excavators. The OS seeks a database provider to streamline documentation and support a harmonized data model and transformation workflow, with a contract valued at up to £6 million. The initiative was initially contracted to Atkins for creating a secure data exchange platform.
