Dynamic AGS

 

AGS Data Format

 

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 AGS format exports data from ASCII text files in a specified format. This format is divided into a series of data groups that represent different types of geotechnical and environmental data. Some of these data groups must be present in all files and the rest are optional.

 

For a complete description of the data dictionary click on the web site below or contact us at GEOSTRU.

Below is a list of the data groups currently supported by GEOSTRU. If there is data in a group not currently supported please contact us and we will do our best to add support for that group in the next update.

 Exporting AGS Data

 

Before any data can be exported the project must first be opened. After a project has been opened boring and well data can be exported to an AGS file by selecting File > Export AGS4...
