Closed meeting: NUAG Steering Group

Date: Monday, 16th of April 2007 at 0930
Set up in 2005, the National Underground Assets Group (NUAG) is a group of relevant stakeholders, including utilities and local authorities, established to support the Department for Transport (DfT) in achieving the relevant Traffic Management Act (TMA) targets, and to act as a point of focus and single voice for everyone involved with underground, and appropriate associated above ground assets. NUAG complements the existing arrangements between DfT and the Highway Authorities and Utilities Committee (HAUC(UK))
More information on NUAG can be found at www.nuag.co.uk.
NUAG has set out its vision for the future of buried services: All information on underground assets, and appropriate associated above ground assets, will be shared between stakeholders in a consistent way, on demand. In September 2006, NUAG published the report "Capturing, recording, storing and sharing underground asset information A review of current practice and future requirements" (follow this link). The report includes a series of recommendations that, taken together, offer a road map towards achieving the Vision and targets set out in the Traffic Management Act.
