I think everyone in the geotechnical field should
have this valuable software. Laboratory data is centralized so the
longer you own this valuable software, the more powerful the database
becomes. This software saves man-hours and paperwork and helps proposals
be more competitive.
The software quality plotting capability is
unmatched. You will need to spend several thousands of dollars on
different softare to produce what SoilVision can do. I use the software
to estimate soil properties by running limited testing and then probe
the SoilVision database for similar soils. From just conducting a grain
size, I can estimate permeability of the soil, cohesion, angle of
internal friction etc... The sky is the limit with this software.
I am confident of the software knowing it is
maintained and updated by Dr. Fredlund who is a geotechnical engineer.
You'll get personal attention when it comes to technical support. Other
software companies have typical list of common questions that they call
technical support.
