APM event hosted by the South Wales and West of England Branch on 24 May 2023.
Speakers: Anuj Goyal and Ibtissam Adem
The Geospatial Commission is building a digital map of underground pipes and cables that will revolutionise the way we install, maintain, operate and repair our buried infrastructure - the National Underground Asset Register (NUAR). In this session we shared our experience of setting up this complex project, managing over 650 stakeholders and creating a OneTeam approach across public and private partners.
There is currently no comprehensive underground map of the UK’s service network. Different organisations have their own maps showing where such things as gas pipes and electricity cables are, but the lack of a combined map creates an increased risk of potentially lethal accidents. Over four million holes are dug in the UK each year, many in the wrong place. Unforeseen ground conditions are a major obstacle to all construction and housing projects, especially on previously developed land.
Atkins is building a new digital map of underground pipes and cables will help improve efficiencies in construction and development, reduce disruption and improve workers’ safety. As well as the technical solution, Atkins has engaged with over 650 Asset Owners (AO) to get access to their underground data and transformed this, so it is available in a consistent way on the platform.
This session covered an overview of what we did and our experiences in Stakeholder Management & Teamwork covering;

But first…
Agenda
12. Building a One-Team
People – Process – Technology
● Complex, multi-supplier environment
● Atkins is the Prime to a
multidisciplinary team of experts
across four main suppliers
● Varying cultures and objectives
across each organisation
● Both Private and Public bodies
13. To celebrate successes of individuals
and the team with regular events
throughout the year and an annual
‘Whole Team Event’.
Strong teamwork, ‘no blame’ and
‘positive challenge’ cultures.
Transparent decision making,
collaboration and clear communication
with each other.
An interdependent programme where
workstreams are accountable but
require support from one another.
The three main components are;
signing up AOs, data transformation
and platform development build.
We operate using a flat structure to
empower and take advantage of the
diverse skills and experience of the
team.
We promote constructive change, with
team & individual accountability.
We regularly review risks, both within
workstreams and across the
programme, ensuring mitigations are in
place and actioned.
Maintaining a RACI chart and ensuring
there is clear scope of responsibilities
across all teams including supply chain.
Following the Cross Government
Service Standard.
We deliver an integrated data sharing
platform featuring a complete data
map of the MVP region’s underground
assets.
Respect
Diversity of thought
Seek to understand and then be
understood
‘One Team’ regardless of organisational
boundaries
To improve the efficiency and safety of underground
works by creating a secure, auditable, trusted and
reliable platform. It will provide a consistent,
interactive digital map of buried asset data. This is
accessible when, where and how it is needed by
those planning and executing excavations on behalf
of underground asset owners. It will lead to
enhanced communication between parties and
improve data quality.
