Since engineering and construction company CDM Smith’s adopted OpenGround, they can leverage a one stop shop for all their geotechnical data. This enhances quality and security while positioning the firm for a wider cloud-based adoption. This is not only paying off with clients, but provides CDM Smith a competitive advantage.

Geotechnical consultant CMW Geosciences’ complete transition to OpenGround by January 2020 was incredible timing given the pandemic that ensued. In 2022, they now hold 68,000 boreholes, constituting some 671,000 metres of drill logs centrally, improving collaboration for better, data-informed decisions by all project contributors.

With a projected cost of GBP 6.8 billion, the Lower Thames Crossing (LTC) is England’s single largest road investment project since the completion of the M25 more than 30 years ago. The project is unprecedented in size and scale, making it the longest road tunnel in the UK. At 16 meters in diameter, it is also one of the largest diameter bored tunnels in the world.

Atkins is a multinational engineering, design, planning, project management, and consulting services company headquartered in London, UK. Part of the SNC-Lavalin Group, Atkins is one of the world’s most respected design, engineering, and project management consultancies. Atkins is renowned for the breadth and depth of its services ranging from civil and construction to aerospace. For many of its projects, Atkins’ geotechnical team uses multiple technologies and applications that need to work together. On these projects, Atkins also needs to provide timely, detailed, and engaging analysis and deliverables to its clients. Therefore, geotechnical technology and data integration, as well as proper project workflows, are of utmost importance to achieve efficiency and quality of service.

How a cloud ecosystem increased collaboration and accelerated delivery of high-quality data and logs to clients England-based Geotechnical Engineering Limited has provided ground-investigation services since 1961. The civil engineering company delivers a comprehensive range of site investigation services to a broad variety of markets, including transportation, construction, renewable energy, utilities, and the environmental sector. The organization continuously invests in research and development, effectively differentiating themselves from their competition while striving to offer clients the best possible services and products. Geotechnical Engineering Limited has relied on Bentley Systems’ gINT® software for more than 20 years. The solution was instrumental in producing borehole logs and AGS data. However, they realized that the desktop approach had limitations when it came to efficient collaboration between the team and the client.   Read the case study to see how Geotechnical Engineering Limited achieved the following results by moving from gINT to OpenGround: Over an hour saved each day and reduced errors in data collection Faster delivery of data and logs Improved relationships with clients Increased ability to make data-informed decisions
