ABSTRACT

This paper presents recommendations for data collection and storage for large construction projects and regional archives and highlights the important differences between the requirements and operational procedures for the two types of systems.

The scope of the geotechnical data being recorded and stored has increased within the last few years to regularly include long term monitoring, geotechnical laboratory test results, chemical data and geohazard mapping together with the standard site investigation data. This increase in the amount and type of data stored has increased the complexity of the data management and data analysis process.

The paper concludes with a set of recommendations for organizations looking to implement a data management system for their next project and the best way to implement a regional archive.
