Geotechnical use of GIS in Transportation Projects
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are powerful tools for organizing, analyzing, and presenting spatial data. GIS can be used by geotechnical engineers to aid the various stages of design, from preliminary corridor geotechnical site evaluation through final geotechnical design. This paper briefly introduces GIS, how the technology can be applied, and discusses the benefits of its use in design. To illustrate these applications actual projects utilizing GIS are presented and discussed. GIS tools can be used to integrate existing data such as soil survey maps and aerial photos with project specific data; identify potential geological hazards; plan and track field work; catalog and review sampling and laboratory testing results; create maps and figures for reports; and improve communication between office and field staff, consultants and their clients, and project team members. These tools can help identify potential barriers to project completion early in the design process that may help to avoid costly redesign later on.
