Accidental damage from construction work costs the economy £2.4bn a year.
The Data Bill will help create a map of the UK’s underground infrastructure, reducing excavation accidents & hazards on our streets.
This will boost construction & grow the economy by £400m a year.
ALT National Underground Asset Register to make construction safer for workers and reduce disruption on our roads. The NUAR will create a complete map of our underground gas, water, electric and telecommunications infrastructure. This will reduce the 60,000 accidental strikes on pipes and cables each year. This will build the infrastructure quicker. This will grow the economy by £400 million a year. The NUAR will accelerate the average data-sharing process for construction and utilities workers from 6 days down to 6 seconds. Data Bill.
