Bedrock.engineer

Visualize. Integrate. Optimize.
Your Subsurface Data

Surface your subsurface data in web maps, Python, QGIS, and AEC platforms, escape proprietary databases like gINT or industry-specific file formats like AGS and GEF.

View and share your Ground Investigation data in the browser

Bridge the gap between specialized GI data formats and the wider world of geospatial tools and standards.

Explore boreholes, test results, and ground models directly in your browser, no specialist software required.

A Software Consultancy for Subsurface Data

Ground investigation data is trapped in proprietary databases (gINT), text formats (AGS, GEF), and specialist software, while geospatial tools thrive in a separate, open and interoperable ecosystem.

Bedrock.engineer bridges this gap. We're a software consultancy specialized in subsurface data. We build tools and workflows that connect your ground investigation data to modern platforms like QGIS, web maps, PostGIS databases, and BIM tools.

What we do:

  • Convert legacy formats (AGS, GEF/CPT, gINT) into modern geospatial formats like GeoPackage or geospatial databases like PostGIS
  • Build web applications for CPT data management, engineering model visualization (Plaxis, Deltares D-Series), and interactive 3D maps
  • Integrate ground investigation data into digital twin platforms for infrastructure planning
  • Create automated workflows connecting subsurface data to QGIS, BIM platforms, and design tools

Our Values

Purpose-built for subsurface data

We build tools specifically for subsurface data, applied to your specific workflows. Not generic GIS software that "almost" fits. Reusable patterns for subsurface data that we adapt to your needs. You get tailored tools without custom-build costs.

Interoperable geospatial data

Modern geospatial formats mean your subsurface data works everywhere, QGIS, ArcGIS, Python, web maps, geospatial databases. We bring practices from modern software development and the geospatial ecosystem to subsurface data.

Open ecosystems

We believe deeply in open-source software and open standards to make subsurface data more accessible and understandable, and drive innovation in geotechnical engineering. We maintain bedrock-ge, our open-source Python library for turning ground investigation data into geospatial data we use in projects.
