In 1991, the AGS set up a method for transferring data between industry organisations. This is known to many simply as ‘AGS Format’ or ‘AGS Data Format’ and provides a standard way to transfer ground investigation, laboratory testing and monitoring data between the contributing parties of a project which involves geotechnical or ...

2024年3月23日 · What is the AGS format? The AGS data transfer format is a standard file format for the transfer of geotechnical and geoenvironmental data. Its scope is generally limited to factual data from ground investigations (GI), i.e. what is typically included in the logs and test reports that make up a GI factual report.

The AGS Data Format allows for seamless sharing of data between different software used within the geotechnical/geoenvironmental industry. Typically the data is generated by a ground investigation contractor, laboratory or on-site drilling crew or technicians and then passed to all project team members.

The AGS Data Format, formally titled “Electronic Transfer of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Data” provides a standard way to transfer ground investigation, laboratory testing and monitoring data between the contributing parties of a project which involves geotechnical or geoenvironmental elements.

A HTTP API for the AGS Python library. It can: Validate AGS files to v4.x of the AGS data format standard; Validate AGS files for submission to the National Geoscience Data Center (NGDC) Extract geojson from submitted files and plot on a map; Convert between AGS format files and spreadsheet files .ags <-> .xlsx

The Group created the AGS Data Format in 1992 which has since become the means through which the industry is able to share data from ground investigations. It is now responsible for monitoring its use and revising and updating the format to meet the needs of users.

Use the map below to find AGS data, click on the markers to find borehole information, links to graphical logs, .ags data download from the NGDC AGS database, and the original submitted AGS data.

The industry will be benefited by using the AGS Format as the single standard to use for data transfer. Also, the AGS data plays an important role of geotechnical and geoenvironmental data management as part of the Building Information Modelling (BIM) process.

AGS data is the industry-standard exchange format for geotechnical data in the UK. For more information, visit the official website for the Association of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Specialists to learn more about the AGS and the technical details of the data exchange format.
