Convert your Geotechnical and GeoEnvironmental Data into Knowledge with PLog Enterprise

Get more value from your geotechnical and geoenvironmental projects with PLog Enterprise.

PLog Enterprise software allows you to harness the power of your gINT project database while taking it to the next level - a KnowledgeBase™. The PLog Enterprise KnowledgeBase™ is a single repository for all of your gINT geotechnical project data. By archiving all of your geotechnical and geoenvironmental projects into the PLog Enterprise KnowledgeBase™, it is more than just data; it is information and a resource for your organization that will continue to grow in value over time. By archiving your geotechnical and geoenvironmental data in the PLog Enterprise KnowledgeBase™ you turn your geotechnical and geoenvironmental information into knowledge that benefits your organization.

Your Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Data is an Asset to your Organization - use it to Increase your Organization's Bottom Line

Anytime you can reuse historical data you benefit your organization and your clients. You can provide a better, more cost effective design because you have more information available in a timely manner. Less time is spent looking for your geotechnical and geoenvironmental data, and more time is spent using it. Furthermore, you can lower project costs because you can easily and efficiently recover and reuse data so you have to perform fewer boreholes to obtain the required knowledge level for project design.

Searching and recovering data is important for both small and large organizations. For example, a state DOT has more than $500,000,000 in paper based files stored in a warehouse. The locations of the projects are stored on over 21,000 index cards. If someone moves the data in the warehouse without updating the index card, the information is lost. The site must be completely redrilled. This state DOT has estimated that if they could reuse their historical data and reduce drilling by 10-20% it would save them $12 - $24 million per year.

If this state DOT stored data electronically in PLog Enterprise, it would not need to update index cards – PLog Enterprise stores the data in the PLog Enterprise KnowledgeBase™. With PLog Enterprise someone cannot lose data – the KnowledgeBase™ only sends copies of data to an individual’s computer. Additionally the PLog Enterprise KnowledgeBase™ is much smaller, and is maintained more easily than a physical building.

Make geotechnical and geoenvironmental data search and retrieval simple with PLog Enterprise

With PLog Enterprise, your geotechnical and geoenvironmental data from gINT is archived in the PLog Enterprise KnowledgeBase™. With your data in the PLog Enterprise KnowledgeBase™ all of your project data is a readily accessible asset to your organization. You can use and reuse your geotechnical and geoenvironmental data to benefit your organization and your clients. With PLog Enterprise you can:

• Search all of your geotechnical and geoenvironmental data at one time for any geotechnical data such as specific projects, groups of projects, boreholes, lab results, or soil types with the PLog Enterprise Query Builder
• Spatially search all of your geotechnical and geoenvironmental data at one time to identify all historical boreholes within a specified distance to your location of interest, whether it is a point, project site, baseline or other feature via the GIS interface
• Use the PLog Enterprise GIS Tool to select specific points (boreholes or soundings)
• Create any gINT report you are currently using with the PLog Enterprise GIS Tool. gINT reports include all borehole logs, fence diagrams, tables, graphs, etc.
• Easily and quickly retrieve and reuse your current and historical project data to develop cost-effective geotechnical and geoenvironmental proposals, investigations, recommendations and designs.

PLog Enterprise Data Flow

Turn your data in to Information. Apply your Information to create Knowledge. PLog Enterprise.

Whether a small organization with little historical data or a large organization with warehouses of data spread among several branches, your data is a valuable resource. The PLog Enterprise KnowledgeBase™ allows you to convert your geotechnical data in to information. This information is an asset to your organization. Each time you access the information in the KnowledgeBase™ and use it to create knowledge, you are saving time and money on each project, proposal, RFQ or interview with a potential client. PLog Enterprise empowers you to use your Data On Purpose.
