Implementing and Deploying Data Management Tools within Geotechnical Services

The objective of this task was to develop and deliver a central web‐based data and document repository for use by staff in Caltrans’ Geotechnical Services that integrates key elements of geotechnical information management. This research task produced the Digital Archive of Geotechnical Data (GeoDOG), an internal Caltrans web‐based tool for managing the Department’s geotechnical documents and data. GeoDOG allows users to upload,search, and download geotechnical documents and data. Its primary web page centers around a map interface, displaying the locations of project files and data, and providing a boundary tool for refining search areas. Search results are presented in a table with sortable columns, mouse‐over information, document preview, and a shopping‐cart style document download feature. GeoDOG incorporates a project creation and document upload form that Caltrans staff can use to archive project documents upon completion
