Abstract
This article focuses on the efforts by the government to carry out digital mapping of underground assets such as water pipes, electricity conduits, gas mains and telecom cables. The digital map is called the National Underground Asset Register (NUAR). NUAR will work in a similar manner to Google Maps and will assist with creating a centralised utility map that will help to reduce accidental infrastructure damage. The article details the challenges of creating NUAR, namely the collection and integration of existing utility datasets as well as incomplete data maps. Finally the article discusses the argument of data security/data sensitivity and whether the NUAR platform should be open or closed.
