Geotechnical desk studies for Irish infrastructure

From a line on the map to a Eurocode 7 desk study

Draw a point, a route or a site boundary. Ground Intel queries 50+ datasets from GSI, EPA, NPWS and Teagasc, writes the desk study with its ground model and geohazard register, scopes the ground investigation, and produces Schedule 2, the bill of quantities and the specification, each finding cited to its source.

  • Rule-based, no AI: the same inputs give the same report
  • True chainages along your alignment
  • Desk study, Schedule 2, bill of quantities and specification from one scope

Features

layers

50+ datasets in one query

Bedrock and quaternary geology, aquifers, groundwater vulnerability, karst, boreholes, soils, radon, groundwater flooding and designated sites, from GSI, EPA, NPWS and Teagasc.

map

Point, line and area

Mark a site, draw a route alignment with true chainages, or sketch a site boundary. All in Irish Transverse Mercator (ITM).

description

Desk study report

Structured to Eurocode 7, TII and BS 5930: preliminary ground model, geohazard register and recommendations, every finding cited to its source. Exported to Word.

architecture

Ground investigation scope

Boreholes, trial pits, cone tests, peat probes, geophysics and laboratory testing, spaced and taken to depth to IS EN 1997-2 Annex B.3. Edit the tables or drag holes on the map.

Schedule 2 and bill of quantities

The schedule of exploratory holes and a bill of quantities in Sections A to L of the Engineers Ireland 2016 bill, measured from the scope, as Excel workbooks.

gavel

Specification

Completes the Engineers Ireland 2016 Schedules: the full specification, a short form for small jobs, or a geophysical survey; on a private form or the Public Works contracts PW-CF7 and PW-CF8.

How It Works

1

Set the site

A point, a route or a site boundary. The core layers are ready.

2

Run the desk study

Live data from GSI, EPA, NPWS and Teagasc, written up as a report.

3

Scope the investigation

Holes, tests, surveys and laboratory testing, in one step.

4

Export the documents

Desk study, Schedule 2, bill of quantities and specification.
