A.  Microsoft Office

There is a vast array of web sites with MS Office resources, rather than list all of these we have included links to a few sites that have really helped us.

The Spreadsheet Page

John Walkenbach’s Spreadsheet Site comes close to being the ultimate Excel resource site and has given us an immense amount of help over the years.

Other good Excel resource sites include:

Colo’s Excel Junk Room

Mr Excel

New Guidelines for Writing Spreadsheets

B.  Geotechnical and Geo-environmental Software

Geotechnical & Geo-environmental Software Directory

Catalogue of 1744 programs in the fields of Geotechnical Engineering, Soil  Mechanics, Rock Mechanics, Engineering Geology, Foundation Engineering,  Hydrogeology, Geo-environmental Engineering, Environmental Engineering,  Data Analysis and Data Visualisation and lists 806 worldwide suppliers and publishers of these programs.

 

gINT Geotechnical and Geonvironmental Software                          

gINT - fully customizable database structures and an unlimited number of user-defined reports.

gINT AGS checker - free AGS file checker.

 

Keynetix Geotechnical Office                                                     

HoleBASE - data handling for geological stratigraphy and classification of soils for engineering purposes, in situ testing including CPT & dynamic probe testing, laboratory test results including contaminant testing, downhole geophysics, and time-related monitoring of instrumentation.

KeyAGS - AGS file creator, editor and checker. Free evaluation version.

Pocket SI - direct keying of borehole and trialpit data by the on-site logger using a PDA or other handheld device.

KeyLAB - Laboratory Management System for Geotechnical and Site Investigation Specialists.

KeyHOLE - connectivity between CAD and geotechnical and geo-environmental data to produce drawings and visual imagery.

 

Note: In our experience there isn’t a perfect AGS file checker, and in practice we frequently use both these plus our own internal systems.

The AGS provides a list of commercial software which claims to be compatible with the AGS Data Transfer Format. They provision of this information does not indicate any recommendation by either the AGS or DataFlex Solutions.
