Data management technologies and applications in the Deep Foundations industry are no longer limited to large projects with detailed specifications. This paper will demonstrate how some of the same technologies developed for larger projects are being scaled down to apply to small-scale grout curtains, slurry and diaphragm walls, and other subsurface applications. "Small", in this case, can refer to either the size of the construction, or the level of detail and requirements in the specifications. Examples will include use of mobile field data collection and web based tools that can quickly collect basic field observations and automatically generate statistics, daily reports, and as-built drawings; allowing high quality control on both data collection and interpretation.
