- Abstract
- It’s important to have knowledge about the existing conditions before proceeding with various types of construction works. Geotechnical investigations are made to determine the soil properties and one method of doing so is to perform borehole drillings. Such drillings are expensive and unfortunately it’s not always known if similar procedures have been performed in the surroundings. A geotechnical drilling is interpreted by a geologist that clearly would benefit from knowing the results from previous drillings in the area. Thus, there is a common interest in centralized storage of such data.

Geotechnical investigations are made to determine the soil properties and one method of doing so is to perform borehole drillings.

A geotechnical drilling is interpreted by a geologist that clearly would benefit from knowing the results from previous drillings in the area. Thus, there is a common interest in centralized storage of such data.
Sweco GeoAtlas is a GIS software for managing geotechnical data which also enables advanced geological analysis. Its usage requires installation in a desktop environment and rather good acquaintance of the system. This master thesis use Sweco GeoAtlas as a case study to investigate how presentation of geotechnical data can be performed on the web.
Existing mapping services for managing geotechnical data as well as other services for displaying quantitative point data have been studied to determine their strengths and weaknesses. The Geological Survey of Sweden has a newly launched application with relevant purposes but it’s still in an early stage. The Geology of Britain Viewer is a good example of how a web application for geotechnical data can look like.
The requirement specification for the web application contains features stretching from basic point interaction to the implementation of 3D functionality. All of the requirements haven’t been fulfilled due to various reasons but they are all brought up for discussion.
The starting point for the prototype in the case study was to solve the problem with displaying quantitative data. Because of this, the web mapping library Leaflet was chosen since it has a well-functioning cluster plugin. Other choices of technology consist of Open Street Map as base map and a dynamic SVG for displaying stratigraphic profile images.
The conclusion of the thesis is that it’s possible to move basic interaction with geotechnical borehole drillings to a web environment. Rather than a complete web-GIS the application would instead be an environment to view the data. The target audience of the web application are GeoAtlas users that aren’t experts and therefore this could be considered as a reasonable division. (Less)
