AGS compatible software for a seamless workflow
Work natively in AGS from start to finish. AGS file import, native editing, and AGS file export for AGS 4.1.1 and 4.0.4 - fully validated at every step, no manual conversions.

Why native AGS data management changes everything for your practice
As a geotechnical engineer, you know the frustration of spending hours manually converting AGS files to Excel, CSV, or other formats just to get data into your management system - and then reversing the process when it’s time to deliver. Every manual conversion step is a chance for errors, lost data, and wasted billable hours.
GeoDin now offers a dedicated AGS object type built from the ground up around the AGS 4.1.1 and AGS 4.0.4 standards. Combined with a purpose-built AGS Importer for AGS file import and a guided AGS Exporter for AGS file export, you can bring your data into GeoDin, work with it natively, and deliver fully validated AGS files - all without leaving the platform.
This is a completely new approach to AGS compliant geotechnical data management, independent from GeoDin’s existing G1 object type and G1 AGS Exporter. It means you can run fully AGS-compliant projects from start to finish, with built-in AGS data validation at every stage and no format conversion steps in between.
How does native AGS data management benefit your team?
End manual format conversions
Import AGS 4.1.1 or 4.0.4 files directly into GeoDin’s AGS object type. Edit your data: borehole logs, geological descriptions, lab results - and export a fully validated AGS file. No more converting between AGS, Excel, CSV, or proprietary formats.
Streamline your AGS file import process
The AGS Importer walks you through a guided four-step process: configure your AGS standard, select your files, validate against AGS rules, and import. If the validator flags an issue, you’ll know before any data enters your database - not after. This built-in AGS data validation catches formatting errors, missing fields, and rule violations at the point of entry, so you never have to worry about how to validate AGS data before export - it’s already been checked on the way in.
Reliable AGS file export, validated every time
The AGS Exporter produces fully validated output in five guided steps. Select your objects, choose your standard (AGS 4.1.1 or 4.0.4), fill in project and transmission details, and export. The built-in AGS data validation checks your file during export, so you can deliver compliant AGS data with confidence -every AGS file export meets the standard before it leaves the platform.
Maintain data integrity across the full lifecycle
Manual data conversion introduces risk. GeoDin’s AGS data management workflow maintains complete data fidelity from import through editing to export. Your borehole logs, lab results, and geological descriptions are preserved exactly as captured. No re-keying, no reformatting, no data loss.
Built for real-world geotechnical workflows
GeoDin’s AGS object type supports 86 data types covering everything from standard penetration tests and triaxial testing to static cone penetration and monitoring installations. Comprehensive AGS dictionaries, fill patterns for geological layers, and map visualization come built in - so you can manage your geotechnical data the way you actually work.
AGS compatible software, officially verified
The AGS format isn’t just preferred - it’s expected. GeoDin is officially listed as AGS compatible software by the AGS committee, with full support for AGS 4.1.1 and AGS 4.0.4 standards. As purpose-built software for AGS 4.1.1 import and export, GeoDin lets you deliver AGS format files directly to clients and partners.
How AGS import, editing, and export works in GeoDin
1. Import - how to import AGS files into geotechnical software
Bring your AGS 4.1.1 or 4.0.4 files into GeoDin using the guided AGS Importer. The AGS file import process includes built-in AGS data validation that checks your data against AGS rules before it enters the database, catching formatting issues and rule violations upfront. Import multiple files at once, and choose whether to update existing records or preserve them.
2. Edit natively in the AGS object type
Work with your geotechnical data natively in GeoDin’s AGS object type. Enter and manage location details, geological layers, samples, well design information, and test results - all structured according to the AGS standard. Use input forms, grid views, dictionaries, and map visualization just as you would with any GeoDin project.
3.Export - validated AGS file export, ready to deliver
Generate a fully validated AGS file using the guided AGS Exporter. Select the objects you want to include, choose your AGS standard (4.1.1 or 4.0.4), enter your project and transmission details, and export. The AGS data validation runs automatically during AGS file export, flagging any deviations before your file is finalized. If you’ve ever wondered how to validate AGS data before export, GeoDin handles it as a built-in step - so every file you deliver meets the standard.
What’s inside the AGS object type
GeoDin’s AGS object type is structured around three components that work together for full AGS data management functionality:
- AGS 4 [AGSSTAND] — the core structure containing location data, geological layers, samples, well design information, and object type tables
- AGS 4 LBSG — Testing schedule — for defining and managing project-specific testing schedules
- AGS 4 PREM — Project specific time related remarks — for recording time-dependent events such as weather delays or site accessibility issues
Together, these support 86 data types across 28 location-linked and 58 sample-linked categories, covering everything from consolidation tests and triaxial testing to CPT data and monitoring installations.
