A Geotechnical Data Archive Isn't Geotechnical Data
Abstract
Geotechnical investigations produce enormous amounts of data that are significantly valuable to a broad geotechnical engineering and construction community. Revolutionary changes in software, hardware, and cloud-based technology are affecting data collection and the data management processes of geotechnical engineers, geologists, and hydrogeologists. Subsurface data are an incredible asset and provide tremendous opportunities for organizations that adopt technology and properly collect and manage their data. These data are also extremely valuable for organizations that pay for them like departments of transportation, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, utility companies, and other large owner organizations. These owners should require that their geotechnical investigation data be collected, managed, and transmitted properly to them so they can gain future value from them.
