A live picture of UK industrial infrastructure.

Every observation submitted feeds the Yard Index benchmark engine. Document what's actually on the ground: assets, facilities, regions, condition.

Indicative sample. The records below are anonymised, illustrative observations used to show the shape of the index. Real site-level observations are contributed by operators and recovery partners and are reviewed before publication.
