At Douglas Partners, we continuously strive to enhance our services and provide innovative solutions to meet the needs of our clients.
In late 2023, we started using Core-GS as our borehole logging solution. This software package includes a centralised database designed to store and manage borehole logging data effectively. Douglas Map is used to visualise the locations of our bores, pits and similar investigations.
Unmatched Data Management and Accessibility
Since making the switch to Core-GS we’ve amassed over 18,000 bores or pits logged, totalling 80 km of depth beneath the ground. Our cloud-based database ensures that this data layer is easy to manage and maintain, allowing our consultants to work more efficiently and accurately.
One of the standout features of Douglas Map is its ability to readily identify any existing work in an area while making large multi-project data sets available internally for analysis and interpretation. The new Core-GS layers complement the existing Douglas Jobs layer, which contains over 130k jobs from our 60-year history.
Enhancing Collaboration and Project Efficiency
The centralized nature of Douglas Map fosters improved collaboration among our teams.
By gathering disparate data sources to one accessible location, our consultants can share insights and findings more efficiently, leading to better coordination and streamlined project workflows. This collaborative environment ultimately enhances project outcomes and client satisfaction.
Real-World Impact: User Testimonials
"Douglas Map provides a quick and easy way to access multiple data streams that are required for most environmental assessments. It offers an organized list of web map services to quickly assess sites from proposal to reporting. For example, I use Douglas Map daily to quickly check the current aerials, geology/soil maps to efficiently make decisions for every project."
"It is easy to compare the geological data while preparing the proposal and after field work. This helps identify changes in the geological data, especially if the site is located at a geological boundary and allows for comparison with nearby projects. This process can help improve the interpretation of geological data and the quality of advice. In one of our projects, a borehole indicated a deeper rock profile compared to other boreholes. Using the Douglas Map to compare geology maps and previous projects near the site helped us understand why there are significant changes in subsurface conditions.”
