GeoTech Scientist

Integrated Geotechnical Investigation and Subsurface Intelligence. GeoTech Scientist brings the full ground investigation workflow into one governed platform: plan investigations, capture borehole and in-situ records, manage samples and laboratory results, produce industry-standard logs and cross sections, build 3D ground models, derive and govern design parameters, and generate factual reports — every value traceable to its source record.

Component ecosystem

One platform, connected geotechnical components

GeoTech Scientist connects the parts of a ground investigation that normally live in separate spreadsheets and tools — so data captured once flows through logging, correlation, interpretation, and reporting.

Project & investigation setup

Organize projects, sites, and investigations, then plan and track boreholes, trial pits, and in-situ tests.

Investigation mapping

Locate every borehole, trial pit, and test on one filterable GIS map with search, symbology, and coordinate readout.

Logging & field records

Capture strata, lithology, SPT, groundwater, core recovery, and drilling records as industry-standard logs.

Samples & laboratory

Track samples from depth to the bench and link laboratory results back to the borehole they came from.

CPT / CPTu & in-situ

Read cone traces with derived parameters and soil behaviour type classification alongside the profile.

Cross sections & 3D models

Correlate units between boreholes and build scaled sections and 3D ground models of the subsurface.

Interpretation & hazards

Govern design parameters with validation and provenance, and maintain a geotechnical hazard and risk register.

Exchange & reporting

Import and export AGS4 and DIGGS, and generate factual reports, logs, and deliverables from the same data.

Connected investigation workflow

From plan to report, on one thread of evidence

Each stage builds on the last, and every result stays traceable to the record it came from.

Key capabilities

Geotechnical investigation and subsurface intelligence

GeoTech Scientist brings the full ground investigation workflow into one governed platform: plan investigations, capture borehole and in-situ records, manage samples and laboratory results, produce industry-standard logs and cross sections, build 3D ground models, derive and govern design parameters, and generate factual reports — every value traceable to its source record.

Plan the investigation and see it on the map

Set up projects, sites, and investigations, then plot every borehole, trial pit, and in-situ test on a single filterable map. Field and office teams share one authoritative picture of where the ground has been investigated — the entry point that populates every downstream module.

Turn field and laboratory records into readable logs

Capture strata, SPT, groundwater, and core data, manage samples and laboratory tests, and read CPT/CPTu profiles — all rendered as industry-standard borehole logs with lithology hatching that a reviewer can trust.

Correlate the ground in 2D and 3D

Draw scaled geological cross sections between boreholes and build 3D ground models with lithology, correlated units, and section curtains — so ground conditions can be understood, not just tabulated.

Interpret, govern, and manage risk

Derive and govern geotechnical design parameters with controlled vocabularies, validation, and provenance, and keep a live hazard and risk register with a likelihood–consequence matrix beside the evidence.

Exchange data and produce deliverables

Move data in and out with AGS4 and DIGGS, generate factual reports, logs, and sections, and ask governed, read-only questions of the data with the exact query and provenance shown.

Enterprise evaluation

How teams should evaluate GeoTech Scientist

A production evaluation should prove technical fit, governance, deployment model, data readiness, and workflow value before procurement.

Deployment fit

Review cloud, self-hosted, ArcGIS-connected, and open-source GIS integration options before implementation.

Governance model

Validate authentication, data access, audit logging, and review controls with technical stakeholders.

Workflow proof

Walk through investigation setup, borehole and CPT logging, laboratory data, cross sections, 3D models, interpretation, and reporting scenarios.

Adoption plan

Define users, training needs, rollout sequence, success metrics, and implementation responsibilities.
