What is permafrost? Permafrost is soil, sediment, rock that remains at or below 0°C for at least two consecutive years. It contains varying amounts of ground ice, soil particles, and organic materials, and can extend from less than one meter to several hundred meters below the ground surface. Why is permafrost important in geotechnical engineering? […]

Piezocone penetration testing (CPTu) is an in situ geotechnical investigation method used to assess mechanical and hydraulic properties of soils. It has the advantage of being a fast, continuous, and reliable test that does not require soil sampling, making it widely used for geotechnical and geoenvironmental soil characterization. CPTu testing measures tip resistance, sleeve friction […]

A new feature is available in Geotec to import data from gINT files. Migrate your historical data and centralize your investigation data in your corporate database!

A new feature is available in the Pro module to project seismic line data onto a main axis to view the seismic profiles superimposed with the boreholes.

Geotec’s new rock mechanics feature is used to quickly enter raw data about the discontinuities and the runs and establish the Barton and RMR parameters based on various criteria.
