Geotechnical Module

Powerful software featuring intuitive workflow

Geotechnical tools
The Maptek™ I-Site™ Studio Geotechnical Module features powerful analysis tools.
Combined with standard I-Site Studio functionality, they deliver a comprehensive
geotechnical solution.
Geological mapping
1 Use Smart Line tools to trace
geological boundaries onto high
resolution imagery direct from the
laser scanner.
Geotechnical features at a glance
Kinematic Analysis
Create great circles (planes), analyse
potential failures, add daylight
envelopes and friction cones.
Stereonet
Plot a stereonet of all discontinuities
and other structurally defined objects.
2 Use Intensity Map combined with
imagery to highlight key alteration
zones.
Discontinuity
Select an area of interest to
automatically identify all other areas
in the view that meet the selection
criteria. Discontinuities can be merged
to avoid duplicate data.
Rose Diagram
Plot the frequency versus the direction
of the data to identify directional trends.
3 Render high resolution SLR images
over 3D scan data for increased
accuracy.
Dip and Strike
Display the dip and strike of a feature.
Analyse Surface Change
Detect changes in surfaces such as
walls, batters, development drives and
faces on the surface and underground.
Overlapping surfaces scanned at
different times are used to display
movement and rate of movement.
 Specialised geotechnical tools and the power of I-Site Studio
software - customisable toolbars, powerful database, intuitive
filtering, flexible registration and extensive analysis tools.
