Visualizing the Subsurface: A Guide to WinFence Cross-Section Software

In the world of environmental and geotechnical reporting, a clear geological profile is the most effective way to communicate complex data. WinFence software, developed by GAEA Technologies, is a robust subsurface modeling solution that transforms raw data into high-resolution stratigraphic visualizations.

By automating strata correlation between boreholes, WinFence allows users to generate detailed lithological sections and 3D fence diagrams with unmatched precision. Whether you are mapping complex pinch-outs or standard soil profiles, this tool provides the professional clarity your clients demand.

Key Features of WinFence

WinFence eliminates the manual labor of hand-drawing strata while maintaining full control over the final output:

• Automated Strata Generation: Utilize built-in intelligence to automatically connect lithologies between boreholes based on thickness and occurrence.
• 3D Fence Diagrams: View and print your cross-sections in 3D space, complete with dynamic light sources and camera positioning.
• Shared WinLoG Database: Seamlessly access data directly from your WinLoG projects to plot samples, geophysical logs, and well details.
• Versatile Strata Types: Easily map complex features like faults, lenses, intrusions, and alteration zones (e.g., contamination or mineralization).
• Customizable Templates: Choose from pre-defined industry templates or create your own with specific scale bars, legends, and location maps.
