Did you know... that there are 1.5 million kilometres of underground services in the UK all working hard to keep our country supplied with water, gas and electricity.  With all these assets and different companies involved working beneath the ground is both complex and inefficient. The estimated economic cost of accidental strikes on underground pipes and cables is £1.2 billion a year. Workers who strike gas pipes and electric cables by mistake can also put themselves and others in danger of death or serious injury.  These are just two of the reasons why the Geospatial Commission launched our National Underground Assets Register Pilots, to make it easier to find out what exactly is beneath the ground.

 

Hear from Holger about the project so far, lessons learned from other countries and it’s next steps in this sought after solution.
