Analytical

  • Analytical Query tool sends data to map, Excel, Crystal Reports report, Crystal Reports crosstab
  • Analytical Query supports summary queries (maximum, minimum, or average result) by matrix, location, or date
  • Analytical Query supports the filtering of results in TerraBase by project, site, sample location, matrix, media, fraction, analyte, date, result qualifier, concentration, sample type, analytical method, detection limit, and sample depth
  • Analytical Query supports unit conversion and selection of desired level of data quality associated with results

Geotechnicall

  • Geotechnical Query sends groundwater data to map, Excel, Crystal Reports report, contouring, or 3D scene
  • Geotechnical Query sends lithology data to map, Excel, Crystal Reports report, or ESRI 3D scene
  • geotechnical Query sends well construction data to map, Excel, Crystal Reports report, or 3D scene
  • Geotechnical Query supports filtering results by well type, well install date, well depth, soil type, well diameter, well status, site, and well name
  • Geotechnical Reports generates boring logs, cross section diagrams, or hydrographs (plots of multiple chemicals and groundwater against time, with option for free product thickness plot)
  • Soil Profiles shows lithology for selected wells, with user tools to create soil layers; final results can be printed or sent to layout for display

3D Analyst Extension

  • Site Wizard allows for adding and editing site information, customizing site base maps, and adding locations to TerraBase by clicking on the map
  • Supports analyte or groundwater contouring; contouring tool allows for adding or deleting data points, choosing method (inverse distance weighted, spline, universal kriging, or trend), creating surface or TIN for 3D display, labeling contours, and adding flow lines
  • Supports visualization of analytical or geotechnical query results in 3D scene, which can be rotated and flipped for full 360 degree views

Administrative GIS

  • With 3DTech, Geotechnical Query supports groundwater contouring through spline, universal kriging, inverse distance weighted, or trend analysis
  • Match sample locations to chemical data (geo-referencing)
