We build software for geotechnical data.
Bedrock.engineer is a small software studio. We make your geotechnical data more useful: CPT and borehole data in web apps, ground models in 3D in the browser, and data ready for the BIM tools you already use.
We have worked with
We build web viewers for ground investigation data
Your project team and clients open boreholes, test results, and ground models straight in the browser, with nothing to install.
We build viewers like this around your data and workflows.
We get your geotechnical data into the geospatial ecosystem
We convert ground investigation data to standard geospatial formats, so your team can use it in QGIS, ArcGIS, Python, and web maps.
Analysis, visualization, and automation happen in the tools your GIS colleagues and data scientists already know.
We connect geotechnical data with structural and building models
We bring geotechnical and structural models together in design software like Rhino3D and Civil3D, connect them through AEC platforms like Speckle, and feed ground data into digital twin platforms.
What We Build#
We build tools and workflows that connect your ground investigation data, geological and geotechnical models, and analysis results to the platforms your project already runs on.
For example:
- Convert bespoke formats (AGS, GEF/CPT, gINT) into geospatial formats like GeoPackage or PostGIS databases
- Build web applications for CPT data, engineering model visualization (Plaxis, Deltares D-Series), and interactive 3D maps
- Integrate ground investigation data into digital twin platforms
- Automate workflows connecting geotechnical data to QGIS, BIM tools, and databases
Our Values #
Purpose-built for geotechnical data
Not generic software that "almost" fits. We've built reusable components for ground investigation data, geotechnical models, and underground assets, and adapt them to your workflows. Tailored tools without full custom-build costs.
Standard formats, any tool
Your geotechnical data converted to standard geospatial formats. Use it in QGIS, ArcGIS, Python, web maps, geospatial databases. Whoever needs the data can open it in tools they already have.
Open ecosystems
We believe in open-source software and open standards to drive innovation in geotechnical engineering. We publish parts of our work as open-source libraries, such as cpt-anywidget for CPT data in notebooks and symeval for unit-aware engineering calculations.
