The Scottish Community Apparatus Data Vault (or Vault for short), makes underground pipe and cable information accessible via the Scottish Road Works Register (SRWR) (Scotland's existing national database for the electronic transfer, retention and management of road works data).

The aim of the service is to enable access to information about all underground pipes and cables from one centralised location.

The following FAQ provides additional information about the Vault project:
