NUAR Notification of Works functionality now live
The teams have been busy, and two elements are now live: the Notification of Works reports, and Phase One of the outbound Notification of Works.
The Notification of Works reports provide information to asset owners about when their data has been accessed. In the Admin portal, simple reports can be created to summarise who has accessed the asset owner’s data, and when. This reporting capability will be further refined, based on requirements.
If you would like to get access to the reports on behalf of your organisation, please contact your account manager who will assist with the set-up.
The outbound Notification of Works capability will be rolled out in two phases.
Phase One is now live and includes: a new enquiry function, initially in a test environment, that allows users to contact asset owners about planned works. Asset owners can invoke plant protection or risk assessment actions and get in touch with the enquirer to advise them on appropriate safe digging procedures, particularly for highly sensitive assets.
Asset owners can receive these notifications in near-real-time, or choose to redirect enquiries to a nominated third-party service provider for processing. Initially, these notifications will be accessible through an API. The API will be scalable to large amounts of notifications and requires integration into an asset owner’s IT infrastructure.
We also recognise the need for a simpler, human accessible interface, and are planning to implement this in due course.
Phase Two will see the further roll-out of the outbound notification’s capability to more asset owners, including their nominated service providers.
We are keen to continue collaborating with industry, promoting clear and consistent communication between parties, and ultimately safer working practices. If you want to be involved in testing the functionality as a user, or accessing enquiries as an asset owner or service provider, please get in touch with us at userfeedback@nuar.uk.
