Abstract/Summary

The newGeoSure Insurance Product (newGIP) provides the potential insurance risk due to natural ground movement. It incorporates the combined effects of the 6 GeoSure hazards on (low-rise) buildings: landslides, shrink-swell clays, soluble rocks, running sands, compressible ground and collapsible deposits. These hazards are evaluated using a series of processes including statistical analyses and expert elicitation techniques to create a derived product that can be used for insurance purposes such as identifying and estimating risk and susceptibility. The evaluated hazards are then linked to a postcode database - the Derived Postcode Database (DPD), which is updated biannually with new releases of Ordnance Survey Code-Point® data (current version used: 2024.3 ). The newGIP is provided for national coverage across Great Britain (not including the Isle of Man). This product is available in a range of GIS formats including text (*.txt) or ArcGIS (*.shp). The newGIP is produced for use at 1:50 000 scale providing 50 m ground resolution. This user guide provides the information required to enable the reader to understand and use this BGS data product. This document accompanies the release (May 2024) of the newGeoSure Insurance Product and included Derived Postcode Database. For more information on the full GeoSure dataset, please refer to the ‘User Guide for the GeoSure dataset (version 8)’ (Lee, et al., 2018).
