6
© 2010 Bentley Systems, Incorporated 6 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM Target Audience (Who needs gINT) Anyone who investigates the subsurface or utilizes subsurface data could use gINT. Because gINT is reporting engine and manages data it is used as a standalone program for subsurface reporting by primary users Because gINT is database it is used as a subsurface data repository (geotechnical and geoenvironmental) by subsurface data consumers – secondary users 6
7
© 2010 Bentley Systems, Incorporated 7 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM Target Audience (Who needs gINT) Primary gINT users (use gINT as standalone software) are: Geotechnical Engineers and Engineering Geologists Treat soil and rock as engineering materials to be analyzed for the design of civil structures (foundations, slope stability, retaining walls, tunnels, etc.). Environmental Scientists Investigate what hazardous/polluting materials are underground and how to implement site remediation. Mining Specialists Searching for ore bodies and designing civil structures for mine construction. 7

© 2010 Bentley Systems, Incorporated 8 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM Target Audience (Who needs gINT) Secondary gINT users (subsurface data consumers) are: GIS Analysts Display subsurface data on the map in terms of point/location/borehole attributes, exposing gINT data within GIS environment, calling for borehole logs, subsurface profiles and other reports directly from GIS environment. Civil Engineers In road design and land development to determine and model subsurface strata such as bottom of fill and top of bedrock, create thematic maps, calculate volumes, create isopachs, etc. Structural Engineers In determining soil properties for analysis of soil-structure interaction and foundations Water Resources, Hydraulic and Hydrologic Testing Determine subsurface strata, Hydrologic soils designation on topography maps, hydraulic conductivity, etc. 8

© 2010 Bentley Systems, Incorporated 45 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM The Next Release gINT V8 i – What is included? Expected release by the end of Q1 2011 This release marks the end of the second phase of the integration with Bentley. The first phase was completed with an update released in June 2010. That release incorporated SELECTserver licensing and was the first build available from SELECTserver downloads. Last major release was September 2008. Over 100 new capabilities in the V8 i release. 45
46
© 2010 Bentley Systems, Incorporated 46 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM gINT V8 i ProjectWise Integration: Except for a few places where it was not appropriate, everywhere in gINT where a file can be opened or saved the user can select to use ProjectWise. This gives a central repository for all files related to gINT which would be stored with all other files related to the user’s projects. The most common uses for this feature by our users: Electronic data files that are imported into the gINT database. Raster images (photos, aerial photos, etc.) that are also imported into the gINT database. Exported final reports from gINT: PDF, DGN, Excel, KML (Google Earth), and data for import to analysis programs. 46
47
© 2010 Bentley Systems, Incorporated 47 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM gINT V8 i DGN (Bentley Design File) Export Allows export of all reports and gINT drawings to MicroStation and many other programs that support DGN. This supersedes the use of the gINT DXF (v12) export format that our users have been using for many years. The DGN export eliminates the main complaints of that format: Inaccurate font translations and the inability to set entity properties by level. The most common use for this feature by our users is to import gINT reports into final design drawings, usually for roads and bridges. ECW Support Enhanced Compression Wavelet files are highly compressed raster images that are very fast to render. They are also geocoded, that is, the location of the image is embedded within the file. 47
48
© 2010 Bentley Systems, Incorporated 48 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM gINT V8 i Coordinate Conversions gINT has incorporated the MicroStation coordinate conversion libraries. Allows users to specify a project coordinate system. Entering North and East coordinates generates corresponding WGS84 Latitude and Longitude and visa versa. 48
49
© 2010 Bentley Systems, Incorporated 49 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM gINT V8 i Coordinate Conversions (continued) With output using an SQL Server database with multiple projects that have different coordinate systems, the program automatically resolves their coordinates to a common system. The most common uses of this feature by our users: For many organizations borehole locations are many times surveyed using GPS devices which give only latitude and longitude. gINT needs projected coordinates to accurately plot features in plan (site maps) and profile (fence diagrams). A utility feature provides a list of projected systems that cover any specified latitude and longitude. Selecting one of these project systems for the project coordinate system, the latitude and longitudes can be entered and the north and east automatically calculated by the program. Organizations may have two or more adjacent projects with different coordinate systems and they would like to run reports on the combined projects. The new feature allows such reporting to occur with accurate relative locations of the boreholes. 49

© 2010 Bentley Systems, Incorporated 50 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM gINT V8 i AGS4 Support In 1992 the UK Association of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Specialists (a trade organization; www.ags.org.uk) published the first version of a data interchange format for geotechnical and geoenvironmental investigations. gINT was the first program that supported it. gINT has always supported upgrades to the format. Version 4 is no exception. The format has spread to Ireland, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, and the Middle East and is required by consultants from these countries doing work throughout the world. With many consultants and government agencies all work requires the use of the format. 50
51
© 2010 Bentley Systems, Incorporated 51 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM gINT V8 i Deviated Borehole Support Deviated boreholes are holes not drilled in a straight line. The bearing and plunge of the hole can change with depth. The AGS4 format supports deviated holes so therefore gINT must support them as well. In addition, this is a very important feature for the mining industry. 51
52
© 2010 Bentley Systems, Incorporated 52 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM gINT V8 i European Numeric Data Entry gINT does require that the user’s system regional settings be configured with a period as the decimal separator. The program will automatically changes those settings if they are not correct and return them to their original configuration on program termination. Most continental European countries use a comma as the decimal separator. Prior to the acquisition gINT had an option to output all reports using European numeric format. This new capability gives the user the ability, if desired, to perform data entry with that format as well. 52

54
© 2010 Bentley Systems, Incorporated 54 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM gINT V8 i Fence Drapes Drawing application tied to the project where graphics depicting features in elevation along a line (straight, zig zagged, or curved). These can be placed on a 2D fence report. The program performs the appropriate projection calculations for accurate display. As many drapes as desired can be placed on a report The main uses for this feature are: Interpreted layering geometry. Results of seismic tests (see sample output with shear wave velocities). Existing features along an alignment (rivers, bridges, buildings, roads, etc.). 54
