Open-Source 3D Technology Driving Geotechnical Innovation

Oslandia was pleased to provide technical support to SoilCloud – Geotechnical data, subcontracted by Apeiron, for the development of a module that generates 3D underground models in seconds and helps engineers quickly estimate soil volumes for excavation and tunnel-boring projects.

The tool we developed automatically generates 3D underground volumes based on drilling data.

Result: underground modeling is completed in one-sixth the time compared to previously used tools.

Technologies used :

  • Complete tech stack: PostgreSQL/PostGIS database, Python backend (psycopg, PySFCGAL), HTTP API via Flask and Flask_restX.
  • SFCGAL for 3D modeling: geometry construction, intersection calculations.
  • Giro3D/Piero for geometry visualization.
