Project Outline
|
Datgel developed a geotechnical data management system and data transfer format
for the RTA's Geotechnical section. The system is used by 8 offices and includes:
- gINT Database
- Log, Fence, Map and summary lab test reports
- AGS format dictionary customised for Australian practice
- Documentation
- Training
- On-going support and maintenance

Project Outline
|
Upon completion the Ras Laffan port will be the world’s largest energy port. The geotechnical
QC testing will involve at least 15000 CPT and 15000 lab tests. Datgel was commissioned in
the early stages of construction to develop an in situ and laboratory testing geotechnical
data management system. Datgel installed the first version system and trained the lab
and engineering personnel in May 2006, and will support and maintain the system for
the duration of the project which is due for completion in 2008.
The system incorporates more than 100
database tables, 50 gINT reports and has the
following features:
- Lab testing for soil,aggregates, and quarry
products. Twenty tests are supported, all are
reported by gINT and most are calculated within the gINT database.
- In situ testing and sampling
- CPT – importing GEF data, and parameter
calculations
- Trial Pit/Test Pit
- Borehole
- In Situ Density
- DCP
- Monitoring
– Settlement Markers
- General Features
- Lab and field test scheduling
- Lab sample storage tracking
- Automatic specification checks
- Automatic calculation of the natural
ground elevation prior to construction
- User rights and security
- Coordinate calculation based on chainage,
offset and alignment data
- Site maps
- Fence diagrams
- Summary graphs, tables, and histograms
- Queries and link to excel

Project Outline |
Datgel personnel were the primary gINT / VB.net developers for the Geotechnical
Database. The system encompassed:
- All field, laboratory, monitoring data was stored, calculated, managed and reported
by the system. Testing included: CPT, zone load tests, in-situ CBR, in-situ density,
boreholes, trial pits, soil classification testing, proctor, lab CBR, vibratory
table, direct shear, point load, limited chemical testing, settlement markers, rod
settlement gauges, standpipes, and magnetic extensometers.
- By the end of the project more than 10000 points will be stored within the
database system.
- Numerous time saving tools were setup to streamline the data processing and checking.
- Database security/user rights were implemented giving some users limited rights
to edit data.
- AGS and database copies of only approved data was automatically sent to the design
engineers each day.
- A custom interface was developed to allow the design engineers to browse and produce
PDF gINT reports on the fly.
