Envista Corporation is one of the world's leading providers of enterprise right-of-way coordination solutions via the web. The company recently announced that Great Britain's National Underground Assets Group had officially confirmed Envista as the vendor of choice for the Group's National Records Service London Project.

In a release, Les Guest of NUAG NRS Ltd said, "Since the original formation of NUAG in 2005, we have worked extensively with all stakeholders in the industry to understand and define the requirements for an asset records exchange service. Achieving a common understanding amongst the various utilities and highways engaged in works where the pipes, cables and other equipment are buried is essential not only to ensure the safety of workers, but also the general public. Through a rigorous evaluation process we selected Envista as the most suitable technology partner capable of meeting our criteria for this critical information service. Our partnership with Envista allows us to leverage their industry proven cloud-based Coordination Platform to deliver the NRS service. The NRS service will enable all who engage in street works to plan their projects more efficiently, resulting in less disruption and inconvenience to road users and the community."

The first stage of a Great Britain-wide implementation, the London Project will rely on the Envista Enterprise ROW Coordination Platform to offer its stakeholders real-time access to information on buried assets, such as water mains, gas pipes and cables. The NUAG firmly believes that the Envista platform will help its National Records Service to offer more effective planning and safer execution of street works.

Mark Prestipino, Envista's CEO, added, "We are very excited to be partnering with NUAG in providing our coordination platform to enable the exchange of asset records through a common web environment, enabling the information management capabilities needed for the London Project. Such an ambitious effort is sure to yield valuable savings in time and money for all the stakeholders, while improving the safety and satisfaction of the general public. With multiple utilities and authorities participating and sharing project and asset information, NUAG is maximizing everyone's ability to improve planning and communication while significantly reducing costs and environmental impact of street works in the London area."
