e-Learning Webinars & Fast Technical Support

SoilWorks eliminates significant efforts to learn various different software programs of different user interfaces to solve a wide range
of geotechnical problems. One user interface is common to all the analysis modules to handle any type of geotechnical problems.
SoilWorks streamlines the technical support and the maintenance of the software, and further, data exchange and management are
consistent because one company has developed all the modules.
SoilWorks is designed to cater to geotechnical engineers as well as structural engineers, which provides the opportunity to expand
the areas of solving geotechnical problems. It also enables the engineers to address soil-structure interaction.
