How it works

From ground investigation data to a validated ground model.

StrixGeo turns site investigation data into structured stratigraphic, lithological and geotechnical ground models, with derived parameters and statistics for each unit. It builds the model; analysis and design stay in your existing software.

StrixGeo · 3D ground model

A watertight 3D ground model with correlated SAND, CLAY, SILT and PEAT bodies

Import your ground data

Import CPTs and boreholes, plus public laboratory data. In Belgium, public CPT data from DOV can be imported directly by drawing an area on the map.

Interpret the ground in cross-sections

Create cross-sections through your project and correlate units between investigations to build the stratigraphic and lithological models, pinch-outs, lenses and all. The interpretation updates as you work, and each section is a view onto the model, not a separate copy.

Synthesise the geotechnical model

The geotechnical model is synthesised from the stratigraphic and lithological models into one ground model, with derived parameters and summary statistics for each unit.

Export for analysis

Export to DXF, PLAXIS 2D and 3D, D-Stability and D-Sheet Piling using stable unit identifiers, so analysis and design continue in your existing software from a consistent ground model.

The stages

The window is organised as a spine of stages on the left, and you work down it and back up as your understanding of the ground matures: Data, Sections, Stratigraphy, Litho, Geotech, Parameters, Exports. Data and Sections are the working canvas; Stratigraphy, Litho and Geotech are the three model levels, each taking the level above it as its input.

Three models, one ground model

The stratigraphic model describes the ground by formation and member; the lithological model describes it by material. The two are interpreted separately and then synthesised into the geotechnical model, the single ground model you export and report from.

What StrixGeo does not do

Design calculations stay in the downstream tools. Settlement, bearing capacity and Eurocode (EC7) checks belong in PLAXIS, D-Sheet and GeoStudio. StrixGeo's job is to give them a clean, validated ground model to work from.
