Application and Limitation on Geological and Geotechnical 3D Modelling

Synopsis

The use of geological and geotechnical 3D modelling has become increasingly essential in the planning and design of geotechnical engineering works, particularly for major development or complex infrastructure projects, due to its ability to enhance visualisation, integrate diverse data sources, and improve analysis of subsurface conditions. This webinar provides an overview of the software tools available such as Leapfrog Works, ArcGIS, Civil 3D and Surfer, and delves into their advantages and limitations. Common modelling errors will also be discussed, along with possible strategies to mitigate these issues. Another key focus will be on how to select the most suitable modelling tools based on the project requirements, geological complexity and data availability, and highlight the importance of model validation so as to equip professionals with a clear understanding of how to effectively apply 3D modelling in geological and geotechnical contexts.
