What is OpenGround Professional?

OpenGround Professional is a comprehensive data management and borehole logging software pack-age for geotechnical and geoenvironmental site investigations.

The software is a fully functional borehole logging program which also allows you to draw cross sections, query and report your data, or export data to AutoCAD and Excel.

The overall scope of data covers geological stratigraphy and classification of soils for engineering purposes, in situ testing including CPT & dynamic probe testing, laboratory test results including contaminant testing, down hole geophysics, and monitoring data.

OpenGround Professional has the ability to distribute data where required, and its impressive range of data editing and manipulation tools, makes it the most versatile application in its class. Each project can accommodate thousands of exploratory hole records with minimal effect on performance.
