Precision geodata management for successful land reclamation and ground improvement projects
GeoDin provides land reclamation engineers and project managers with the advanced tools to manage sensor data, predict settlement, and guide fill placements for stable and sustainable new land.

The challenge of land reclamation projects
Land reclamation and ground improvement projects are complex undertakings that demand precise control and deep understanding of subsurface conditions.

These projects involve massive earthworks, material placement, and often rely on continuous monitoring to ensure stability and predict long-term behavior. Key challenges include:
- Vast data streams: Managing continuous data from a wide range of sensors (piezometers, inclinometers, settlement plates) and multiple data formats.
- Real-time monitoring and alerts: The need for immediate detection of anomalies and potential risks to prevent project delays or failures.
- Predictive modeling: Accurately forecasting settlement and ground behavior to optimize fill placement and ensure long-term stability.
- Data integration: Consolidating data from various sources (field sensors, lab tests, design models) into a unified view.
- Collaboration across disciplines: Sharing critical data seamlessly between geotechnical engineers, construction teams, and project stakeholders.
