Bedrock.engineerWe 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 put your ground investigation data in the browser
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 QGIS, ArcGIS, and Python
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 your 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#
Most geotechnical data sits in reports and bespoke file formats that only specialist software can open. We turn it into structured data, so you can see it in the browser, query it, rerun calculations on it, and script workflows with it.
For example:
- Convert borehole and CPT data from specialist-only formats (AGS, GEF, gINT) into open, queryable databases that work in QGIS, the browser, and your other tools
- Build web apps that bring CPT data, analysis models (Plaxis, Deltares D-Series), and 3D maps into the browser
- Integrate ground investigation data into your digital twin
- Automate the data flow between QGIS, BIM tools, and databases, so no one moves files by hand
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
Data in open, standard formats is not locked to the software that made it. Whoever needs it next, a GIS colleague, a structural engineer, a client, can work with 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.
