    Datgel’s CPT Tool 3 places advanced reporting capabilities
         directly in the hands of geotechnical engineers


Sydney, Australia – 21 August, 2012 – Datgel today announces the launch of CPT Tool 3
gINT add-on, the third-generation of its category-defining CPT reporting tool which places
advanced reporting and analysis capabilities directly in the hands of geotechnical engineers with
an array of formula configurations and report generation options unmatched in cone
penetration testing.


CPT 3 is the most flexible CPT software available and ensures geotechnical engineers can have
custom reporting with rich-data visualisation in any situation, adapting reporting output quickly
and cost-effectively as user-requirements change to meet new conditions across locations and
projects.


“In developing CPT Tool 3, our focus has been on automation and user control,” says Datgel
Managing Director Phil Wade.


“Version 3 gives geotechnical engineers faster access to the exact information they need to be
effective, defining their own calculations and report parameters by leveraging peerless formula-
creation tools in CPT Tool 3 to write formulas for gINT without having to develop lines of
complex VBA code.”


User-definable features include a library of more than 300 customisable log, graph and fence
reports that can be modified to capture unique requirements on the day. The ability to create
and store a repository of user-defined calculations and reports within the system can be utilized
to create a dynamic workflow over time for highly efficient CPT data processing.
CPT Tool 3 sets a new level of productivity in report generation according to Wade.


“Reporting is streamlined with multithread calculations, dissipation tests, derived parameters,
six soil behaviour type (SBT) interpretation methods and more than 100 preconfigured
correlations including liquefaction that all take the burden of creating complex calculations off
the end-user.”


Client feedback from version 2 has been taken into account including requests for English units,
liquefaction and pile analysis.


“It’s important that geotechnical engineers focus their highly specialized skills on analysis and
interpretation,” says Wade. “CPT Tool 3 takes clients beyond having to wrestle with 100’s of
Excel spreadsheets while delivering superior presentation of the essential and critical data they
need. Reporting capabilities include being able to compare borehole logs, lab results and CPT
data in the same gINT database – unheard of until now.”


CPT Tool 3 is built for speed and ensuring data integrity. High-volume data processing is
catered for with secure, centralized data storage that facilitates robust data retrieval and
analysis and a single point of control for sharing across disparate geographical sites. CPT Tool 3
also encourages the re-use of stored data, whether for benchmarking, extended testing or
comparison with other data sets and re-interpretation – in short, treating data as an asset.
