Powering resilient infrastructure with precision geotechnical data management
GeoDin provides infrastructure professionals with the tools to manage complex geodata, ensure regulatory compliance, and facilitate seamless collaboration for safer, more efficient, and sustainable projects.
The challenge of infrastructure geotechnics
Infrastructure projects, from extensive road networks and railway lines to critical energy grids and urban developments, rely heavily on accurate and compliant geotechnical data.
Without a robust geodata management system, infrastructure projects face:
- Data silos: Disconnected data from various surveys and teams leading to inefficiencies and errors.
- Compliance risks: Difficulty in meeting stringent national and international standards, leading to delays and penalties.
- Design uncertainty: Lack of comprehensive subsurface understanding, resulting in costly over-engineering or unexpected issues during construction.
- Collaboration gaps: Poor data sharing between design, construction, and geotechnical teams.
How GeoDin empowers your infrastructure projects
GeoDin is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of large-scale infrastructure development, offering a comprehensive suite of tools that streamline your geotechnical workflow from investigation to design and beyond.
Centralized geodata management
Consolidate all your geotechnical information—borehole logs, lab results, groundwater monitoring data, and more—into a single, secure, and accessible database. GeoDin offers flexible import options from various formats (Excel, CSV, databases) ensuring your project data is safely stored and meets international standards.
Enhanced design accuracy with GeoDin Ground
Integrate ground data directly into Autodesk Civil 3D, allowing design engineers to visualize subsurface conditions and create optimized designs without guesswork. This closes the information gap between ground truth and design reality, leading to safer and more cost-efficient outcomes.
Uncompromising compliance
Automatically adhere to 11 international geotechnical standards, including DIN, ISO, NEN, ÖNORM, ASTM, and BS 5930. GeoDin ensures your data is audit-ready, preventing non-compliant entries and providing documentation for regulatory approval.
Streamlined field data capture with GeoDin Onsite
Digitize your field data collection with an app designed for Windows tablets, laptops, and desktops. GeoDin Onsite offers validated ground data capturing, label printing with QR codes for samples, and the ability to include sample photos, ensuring accuracy and preventing data loss from the field to the office.
Advanced data visualization
Transform complex datasets into clear, actionable insights with interactive heatmaps, flexible cross-sections, and professional reporting templates. Understand material compositions, terrain elevation patterns, and subsurface profiles with ease.
Seamless integration
GeoDin works harmoniously with tools you already use, including Autodesk Civil 3D, ArcMap, and QGIS, ensuring maximum interoperability and enhancing your existing workflows. You can also export to industry standards like AGS 4.0.4/4.1.1.
Optimizing geodata for a major cable infrastructure project
Challenge:
A consortium of energy transmission companies (e.g., Tennet, Amprion, Transnet BW, 50hertz) was undertaking the installation of 700km of underground cables, requiring extensive geotechnical surveys, groundwater monitoring, and soil assessments across a vast area. Managing the geodata for all involved parties and ensuring compliance with German public authority standards was a significant hurdle.
Solution:
GeoDin provided a centralized platform for all geodata related to the 700km cable installation project. Key aspects included:
- Centralized data management: All geotechnical survey, groundwater monitoring, and soil assessment data from various companies involved in the planning session were centralized in GeoDin.
- Compliance with German standards: GeoDin ensured compliance with German public authority standards throughout the data collection and management process.
- Comprehensive data capture: Data from 37 groundwater monitoring wells with cross-section structural models was managed, alongside soil assessment data collected in the field via the mobile app (GeoDin Onsite).
- Automated data quality: GeoDin's automated data quality tests ensured the integrity of the data before it was written to the database.
- Real-time environmental changes: Automated triggers provided real-time updates for environmental changes.
- Online portal: An online portal allowed all relevant parties to manage, analyze, and present data and reports efficiently.
Result:
With GeoDin, the project achieved seamless geodata management across multiple stakeholders, ensuring compliance with German standards and providing a single source of truth for all subsurface information. This facilitated efficient planning, reduced risks, and supported the successful installation of the critical cable infrastructure.
