DIGGS Scheme for Rock Grouting Data Transfer-Video

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The presentation describes DIGS, an XML schema for exchanging geotechnical data, and its expansion to support rock grouting. Developed through DFI-funded workshops, the project added a construction-activity structure and fields for drilling, casing, grout stages, materials, volumes, pressure, and time-based measurements. A shared format can carry data from exploration and planning through contractor work, analysis, and as-built records, reducing manual re-entry and conversion errors while allowing teams to use their preferred software. Further DIGS extensions are underway for compaction grouting, soil mixing, geophysics, measurement while drilling, instrumentation, and pile driving. Schema resources, training, and public data tools are also available.
