GeoDin Suite

In 2025, GeoDin released the GeoDin Suite, consisting of three applications:^{[citation needed]}

GeoDin is the core geodatabase application for storing, managing, reporting, and analyzing geological and geotechnical data. It manages project records and location/identification data for investigation points (e.g., boreholes), supports lithological descriptions in line with established classification standards, integrates field and laboratory test results and samples, and handles monitoring time series such as groundwater levels. The software includes tools for visualization, reporting, and GIS-based mapping through a dedicated module.

GeoDin Ground is an integration plugin for Autodesk Civil 3D that displays geotechnical and subsurface data within the design environment. It is available through the Autodesk Marketplace.^{[citation needed]}

GeoDin Onsite is a field data capture application for recording borehole data, samples, and measurements during site investigations, with synchronization to the GeoDin geodatabase.^{[citation needed]}

Features

GeoDin provides tools for the capture, management, and analysis of geological and geotechnical information. It manages project records and location and identification data for investigation points (such as boreholes), supports lithological descriptions consistent with established classification standards, and handles samples taken from boreholes together with their metadata. Monitoring data and time series (for example, groundwater levels) can be recorded, validated, and visualized, and sequential, depth-indexed investigation data, such as CPT profiles, can be imported and displayed.^{[citation needed]}

Visualization and reporting functionality includes graphical borehole logs and geological cross-sections, plan-view site plans, and well construction artifacts, comprising both well design specifications and well/borehole completion (as-built) diagrams. The software provides parameter and results tables, charts for time-series and depth-profile data, and template-based reporting. A mapping module (GeoDin Maps) offers GIS-style displays of investigation points using basemaps (e.g., OpenStreetMap) and external GIS layers, and supports the creation of derived surfaces such as contour maps and heat maps.^{[citation needed]}

GeoDin also includes a library of configurable laboratory and field geological geotechnical tests, including classification tests, chemical analyses, and advanced geotechnical investigations.^{[citation needed]} The feature set varies by configuration, modules, and version; the foregoing is a non-exhaustive description of available functionality.

Standards support

The software supports geological and geotechnical standards including:^{[citation needed]}

Interoperability and integrations

GeoDin provides several interfaces for data exchange and interoperability with third-party systems.^{[citation needed]}

Data exchange formats: Import and export to XLSX, CSV, PDF, and various GIS formats.^{[citation needed]}

AGS standard: Support for the AGS geotechnical data exchange standard (versions 4.0.4 and 4.1.1).^{[citation needed]}

GIS and basemaps: Mapping workflows with OpenStreetMap basemaps and ingestion of external GIS layers; creation of contour and heat maps.^{[citation needed]}

3D subsurface modeling: GeoDin supports data transfer to Seequent Leapfrog for subsurface modeling and visualization.^{[citation needed]}

CAD environments: GeoDin Ground provides integration with Autodesk Civil 3D for in-CAD visualization and interaction.^{[citation needed]}

Environmental information systems: Interfaces to systems such as the environmental information system (UIS) of the Saxon State Office for Environment, Agriculture and Geology (LfULG).^{[citation needed]}

Database backends: Integration with Microsoft Access, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and MySQL.^{[citation needed]}

Third-party extensions: Additional modules and connectors by external vendors for data exchange and publishing.^{[citation needed]}
