The Association of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Specialists (AGS) is a non-profit making trade association established to improve the profile and quality of geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering. The AGS Format is for the electronic transfer of data in the geotechnical and geoenvironmental industries. The newest version is known as "AGS4" which contains an updated Data Dictionary and revised rules for AGS Format files.The previous version 3 format is also supported for importing and exporting from WinLoG RT.
A variety of boring and well data can be imported and exported in AGS4 and AGS3 format. For a list of the data groups click on the links below:
Before any data can be imported the project must first be opened. After a project has been opened, boring and well data can be imported from an AGS file by selecting File > Import > AGS Data > Version 4 or Version 3. A file dialog will be displayed to specify the file to import. Next, the borings/wells to be imported must be selected on the Import form below. Either all of them can be imported or they can be imported individually using the checkboxes.
(The appearance of the form will differ slightly depending on if it is WinLoG or WinLoG RT)
After the borings and wells have been selected, the display types must be selected for the AGS datasets and a template setup for the imported data. These steps are covered in the topics below.
