The Case for BIM in Geotechnical Data
Getting the Message Across
Applying Building Information Modelling principles to geotechnical data will reinforce the message that geotechnics is an integral part of every phase of a project – not just site investigation, argues Gary Morin, Technical Director, Keynetix.
[Editor] In this contributed article, Gary describes the justification for using BIM for geotechnical data. Among those benefits are the ability to perform detailed alternatives analysis and optioneering, reduction of risk during construction, and the ability to perform cost-effective repairs and maintenance during the lifetime of the geotechnical asset.

How to Find Existing Geotechnical Subsurface Information
So, you’ve landed a job as a Geotechnical Engineer. What now? We all know that before performing any site investigation it is prudent to gather as much information that you can about the project site. There are so many resources out there that can help us get an idea of what the subsurface conditions are so that we can select the appropriate subsurface exploration techniques.
Below is a list of extremely useful sites that can help you gain some indication as to what the subsurface conditions are before planning the subsurface exploration program.

Its great to see this posted on your website. At Terracon we are serious about bringing a stronger understanding of the incredible need for thorough and proper Geotechnical Site Characterization for any geotechnical or foundation project.
This video exposes the tremendous value of “looking into the past”, and recycling our data. As we have examined the possibilities of this, we have become quite excited about the possibilities. (stay tuned!)
