About this beta pilot

This is a beta pilot focused on underground assets in Wellington.   

By beta pilot, we mean the Underground Asset Register is currently in a discovery phase where we deliver the software quickly to build value for anyone who needs to do subsurface works and refine it in subsequent iterations, based on our findings and from our user feedback.  

About the Underground Asset Register

The Underground Asset Register is a central location for federating information – we load the various utility data sets and convert them into a simple and easy to understand format.  Utility data is displayed on the map with interactive tools so users can understand what assets exist in their project area, who the asset owners are and how to contact them.   

We also provide access to contextual data sets that help understand conditions you may experience in your project area – these contextual layers can include data such as archaeological sites, areas with high water table, contaminated sites etc.

The Underground Asset Register also provides a convenient mechanism for providing feedback when you find something in the wrong place, or something that you don’t recognise.   This feedback is provided to the utilities and to WCC to support updating the data sets that feed into this map.
