Why Excel Fails for Geotechnical Data Management (And What to Use Instead)
For decades, Microsoft Excel has been the default tool for managing geotechnical and environmental data. It’s familiar, flexible, and widely available. But here’s the reality: Excel was never designed for geotechnical data management. As projects become more complex—multi-borehole investigations, long-term groundwater monitoring, contaminant modeling—the limitations of spreadsheets become impossible to ignore. In this guide, we’ll…
