OpenGround is a true cloud based enterprise solution for geotechnical data management. It has different applications to enable different users to achieve different workflows: site investigation planning, site exploration, site investigation presentation, engineering analysis, design and visualization, and lab testing. With a connected workflow users do not need to re-enter data at every step. Rather applications (standard once as part of the OpenGround family, or additional applications via OpenGround's API capabilties) access data in the cloud.
Often it is the data entry/re-entry process where an engineer starts to get a feel for site conditions. Repitition. Professionals have an idea about the site before the advanced analysis and modeling even begin. How then, as a professional, are you supposed to get a feel for a site if you are not touching the data over and over? How can you answer simple questions about a site?
Luckily, OpenGround has a few basic tools available to a user to enable a professionals beginning steps in site evaluation. This guide goes through a couple of existing tools that can be used to begin to understand site data for further analaysis and design recommendations.
More advanced tools such as the Power BI add-in, Leapfrog, Civil 3D add-in and (coming soon) OpenGround Civil Tools for ORD, as well as the API for data use with GIS and other analysis programs are possible. The tools listed in this paragraph are not the focus here.
Additionally, one basic tool available to all users that may help are reports. More information about reports (what they are, and how they can be used) can be found here.
