CSV	✅	✅
JSON	✅	✅
GeoJSON	✅	✅

What do you need? DIGGS? NADAG? GEF? Something else?
Let us know by creating an issue or starting a discussion 💭

Also, if you have a project with publicly available GI data, please share that in a discussion, such that we can create a tutorial from it 🤩

✅ Validate your GI data

bedrock-gi comes with data validation to make sure that you can combine Ground Investigation data from multiple files into a single GIS database with consistent relationships between GI locations, samples, in-situ measurements and lab tests.

This data validation mechanism (based on pandera) is easily extensible, giving you the power to add your own data validation criteria 💪

🗺️ Put your GI data from multiple files into a single 3D GIS database

For example, you can take GI data from 100 AGS files and combine them into a single a GeoPackage (like a Shapefile, but then waaay better). Such a GeoPackage can then be loaded into ArcGIS, such that you can visualize your GI data in 3D, and perform analyses:

🟦 Put your GI data into Speckle

Once you have your GI data inside Speckle, it’s super easy to visualize GI data together with civil engineering designs:

Moreover, your GI data becomes available in all the software that Speckle has connectors for.

🔓 Free and Open Source Software

Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) gives you full access to the code, which means you can customize bedrock-gi to integrate with other tools and fit your workflows & project needs.

As the name implies, FOSS is free to use, so you’re not tied to expensive software licenses or locked into a specific software vendor ⛓️‍💥

You can give feedback and contribute, such that together we together can build the tools we’ve always wanted and needed 🤝
