Soil Mechanics

This feature allows the representation of borehole profiles, well linings and gauge instrumentations in accordance with standards, as well as the creation of layer specifications (bore logs) in accordance with DIN EN ISO 22475-1, DIN 4022 Parts 1-3, or DIN 4943. Furthermore, the results of standard penetration tests can be displayed. It is also possible to determine the extraction rate of borehole heat exchangers based on the borehole profile.

• Extensive configuration options for the representation, including primary and secondary soil types, colour, consistency, etc.
• Description of the soil in short and long text possible, automatic conversion into long text in case of a description via abbreviated designations
• Description of the colour and the consistency as well as the assignment of a soil group and a soil class are possible

• The symbol editor can be supplemented as desired: abbreviations, long texts, symbols and colours

• Determination of the specific extraction rate for geothermal wells based on the bore profile
• Consideration of the groundwater level and the operating time of the heat pump
• Specific extraction rates are stored for each soil type in the symbol editor, changes and extensions can be applied
• Calculation according to VDI Guideline 4640 Sheet 2, Thermal use of the subsoil, Sep. 2001

• Representation of bore profiles in accordance with relevant standards
• Representation of the water levels next to the bore profile (still water, seepage water, rise)
• Representation of the samples next to the bore profile is possible (undisturbed, disturbed, core sample, water sample)
• Representation of borehole heat exchangers with probe head and coloured pipes
• Creation of layer specifications (bore logs) according to standards
• Representation of well lining and gauge instrumentation as per DIN 4943 including multiple gauges
• Representation of  Standard Penetration Tests (SPT) in a dedicated chart next to the bore profile or directly at the bore profile
• Representation of the heat extraction rate at the bore profile as a brief overview or in a well-structured table
• Display of any values as line or bar diagram (linear or logarithmic scale)
