1Spatial Plc: First significant contract with High Speed Two

8 June 2022

1Spatial, (AIM: SPA), today announces that, following a direct award via G-Cloud 12, it has secured a new two-year contract with High Speed Two (HS2), the company responsible for developing the UK's new high speed rail network, to build a data validation gateway. The gateway will enable HS2 to validate the quality, conformance and design of construction-related data submitted by their Supply Chain which in turn will contribute to the efficiency and effective information delivery on Europe's largest infrastructure project.

This is 1Spatial's first significant contract with HS2 and has a total value over the two years of £0.9m,  with potential options to extend for a further two years.

The gateway will comprise 1Spatial's 1Data Gateway product as a web portal for data uploading, and 1Integrate, to check the compliance and quality of the data against stringent HS2 standards and criteria. This will enable validated data to then be passed onto a Common Data Environment (CDE) to ensure compliance with wider UK government Digital Engineering initiatives.

Through 1Spatial's products, the gateway will create greater reliability of data and reduce risks by delivering consistent and accurate geometrical, geospatial, and non-geometrical data ingested across the full Common Data Environment (CDE) domain.
