The Geospatial Commission’s National Underground Asset Register wins Digital Innovation award

Cambridge, UK, July 12th, 2024, ( www.1spatial.com) 1Spatial is thrilled to announce that the Geospatial Commission’s National Underground Asset Register (NUAR) has been honoured with the "Digital Innovation in Productivity" award at the Digital Construction Awards 2024. This accolade recognises the groundbreaking data transformation work and innovative solutions developed by 1Spatial in collaboration with the Geospatial Commission and AtkinsRéalis to create an interactive digital map of underground pipes and cables. 

NUAR, a cornerstone initiative to map underground pipes and cables, aims to improve safe digging and reduce accidental strikes. By improving accessibility to this critical information, the NUAR is set to enhance safety, efficiency, and productivity across many sectors

Pioneering Innovation in Digital Construction

The Digital Construction Awards highlight the most impactful and forward-thinking projects in the industry, and the NUAR win in the "Digital Innovation in Productivity" category underscores the significant advancements made possible through 1Spatial's data expertise. NUAR stands out for its innovative approach to integrating and visualising underground asset data, which has traditionally been fragmented and difficult to access.

Powered by the 1Spatial Platform, NUAR leverages the company's position as a leading LMDM (Location Master Data Management) software provider. The platform utilises a patented rules engine and employs AI for advanced data transformation and ingestion.

"We are immensely proud to be recognised for our contribution to the NUAR," said Claire Milverton, CEO of 1Spatial. "This award is a testament to our commitment to leveraging cutting-edge geospatial technology to solve complex data challenges and drive meaningful change in the industry."

Driving Economic and Safety Benefits

NUAR is not only a collaboration triumph but also a catalyst for substantial economic benefits. According to recent estimates, NUAR is on track to boost the UK economy by £5 billion. By providing a single source of underground asset information, NUAR reduces the risk of accidental utility strikes, minimises project delays, and lowers costs associated with construction and maintenance.

Looking Ahead

1Spatial's role in the NUAR exemplifies its dedication to innovation and excellence in the geospatial field. As the initiative continues to evolve, 1Spatial remains committed to pushing the boundaries of what is possible with geospatial data and technology.

The recognition from the Digital Construction Awards is a significant milestone for 1Spatial and the NUAR team. It reaffirms the vital role of digital innovation in driving productivity and efficiency in the construction industry. 1Spatial looks forward to continuing its collaboration with industry partners and stakeholders to deliver transformative solutions that benefit the entire nation.

Notes to Editors

Pioneers in Location Master Data Management (LMDM), 1Spatial plc helps organisations develop strong data foundations that enable informed and confident decision-making for a safer, smarter, and more sustainable world. Operating at the intersection of two fast-growing global markets, GIS (geospatial information systems) and MDM (master data management), our patented technology powers some of the largest and most complex data sets in the world, such as the US Census Bureau and Ordnance Survey Great Britain.

Demand for current and authoritative geospatial data has never been greater, often driven by sustainability and Net Zero goals. In every sector, organisations are using location data to make better decisions - improving profits, saving time, and saving lives. Over the past 30 years, we have helped more than one thousand organisations improve the governance and quality of their data across a range of industries, with our core focus areas being Government, Public Safety, AEC, Utilities and Transportation.

The driving force behind our technology is the 1Spatial Platform, a no-code cloud-based integrated data system (or ecosystem). Flexible, intuitive, and powerful, this collection of 1Spatial products can transform, validate and process complex data at speed and at scale, saving our customers time, money, and resources by automating the data management process.

Using our technology, combined with our data expertise, we connect all elements of the data ecosystem together, while enabling continued data governance and quality – even as the data continues to evolve. This approach, which we call ‘Location Master Data Management,’ ensures that spatial (and non-spatial) data remain current, complete, accessible, accurate and uniform, removing any formatting roadblocks that may impede data integration or sharing.

We partner with major technology consultancies and GIS providers such as ESRI, bringing together our people, innovative solutions, industry knowledge and experience to deliver world class solutions.

1Spatial plc is AIM-listed, headquartered in Cambridge, UK, with operations in the UK, Ireland, USA, France, Belgium, Tunisia, and Australia.
