Geotech's Enviro Data software stores and displays environmental quality data, such as field and laboratory data for water, soil and air. Users can cost-effectively import analytical and other data, review the quality, select data, and generate reports, graphs and maps, or provide data to other programs. Capabilities include a lab and field data interface, data validation, a user-friendly selection screen, and integrated graphing, mapping and reporting. It has been accepted by numerous industrial companies, government agencies, and consulting companies. The Enviro Data user interface runs within Microsoft Access, so the software can be easily customized for specific project needs. The program works equally well storing the data in Access, SQL Server, or Oracle, and we have numerous users on each of these platforms. We have an excellent relationship with most of the major laboratories to facilitate transferring data into Enviro Data efficiently and accurately. We also have a strong interface from Enviro Data into ArcGIS, and are about to release a new product called Enviro Spase that helps you efficiently display your data on GIS maps.

Be sure to ask about the Enviro Data rent-to-own program! It's an easy way to improve your data management without a big up-front cost.

Enviro Data has many capabilities. Here are just a few. Click on any picture to see a larger version. 

Your situation … Site data drives your investigation and analysis process. Streamlining data flow into useful information saves time reaching a solution. Transforming site information into useful communication tools helps you and your clients see critical environmental issues and compliance remedies. Bringing closure to environmental issues quickly and cost effectively depends on how well you manage your data.

Our Solution … We help you manage your project data from start to finish - more efficiently and cost effectively - with software that is easy to learn and use. Going beyond the data … We bring you the expertise and support to create a single-user or company-wide standard database that is central to all your site data workflow applications - from the lab to the regulators.

Wizard-assisted Import - Import your data cleanly and quickly. Fill in missing data, enforce consistency, verify and validate as necessary, convert to standard units, and even be notified of exceedences right during the import! And really save time by having your labs check your data before they send it! Our reference file system closes the loop between labs and data users, requiring the labs to check data against updated lists of well names, parameter spellings, and other data elements prior to delivering the data. This wizard-assisted import and use of the reference files has reduced the time for importing and checking lab deliverables by a factor of six, saving hours and dollars.

Easy Data Selection - Enviro Data was built for users of all skill levels, and the data selection process reflects this. You can select data using a  simple form-based query system, shown to the left, to see just the data you need. This system lets you select data from drop-down lists of station names (wells, borings, etc.), parameter names, etc., enter the dates and/or depths you are interested in, and then retrieve just the data you want to see, without getting involved in complicated SQL (structured query language) queries. (Or you can use SQL if you prefer.) After you have selected the data you want to work with, you can then create printed reports, graphs, or maps, save the data to disk, or copy it to the clipboard to paste into other programs. You can even make a subset of your database to transfer to other locations.

Many Sophisticated Report Formats - The program comes with several dozen pre-configured reports that will satisfy many of your needs. Format your results exactly as you wish, with special handling of flagged data, non-detects, dilutions, and trailing zeros. Save your selections for later use. Change the standard reports and queries, or add your own. Do it your way! Other powerful Enviro Data features include tracking of quality control and review status of all the data, and also support for data validation. Believe it or not, Enviro Data can even overcome Access’s problem with displaying the right number of decimal places where there are trailing zeros. (This is something that Excel can’t easily do either.) You can even define parameters for each station, and include those lines whether they were analyzed or not.

Create Your Own Reports - A very strong feature of Enviro Data® is its user-configurable custom reporting. For that  project with special requirements, it’s easy to modify an existing report or create a new one with a specific data presentation.  This is one of the many features that makes Enviro Data almost infinitely flexible; able to accommodate project needs while leveraging the power of a time-tested product.

Graph Your Data - Enviro Data can automatically convert your data to consistent units, find the regulatory limit that you have selected for the parameter being displayed, and draw a graph showing the data and the limit. Graphing features can be turned on and off so you can get just the display that you need for your specific project requirements.

Create Maps Right In the Database - If you don’t need a full-blown GIS system, or just want an easy way to make simple maps of your data, Enviro Data has basic mapping capabilities built right into the database software. You can display your existing CAD drawing as a base map, and then select a parameter for display by date, depth, etc.. The software will then let you select cutoff values, and display colored dots and the values on the map.

Export to Other Programs - Use data from Enviro Data in your existing analysis and display applications such as Excel, Word, Surfer, RockWorks, EVS, QuickLog, ArcGIS, and many other programs. Export just the data you need in a variety of different file formats. And Geotech's Enviro Spase product really brings the GIS link alive (Caution - large download.).

Flexible Regulatory Limits - Enviro Data can store and display multiple regulatory limits by matrix, parameter and site. The editing screen for this data is shown to the left. The graphing system can display a selected limit. Some of the reports can highlight data records that exceed the limit, or show only the exceedences.

Industrial Strength Database Design - This powerful and intuitive software uses Microsoft Access as a front-end user interface and any ODBC-compliant database such as Access, SQLServer or Oracle as a back-end database server. This open system, based on industry standard software, allows the system to be easily modified, by you or by Geotech, for specific project requirements. The data storage structure (data model) has been carefully refined over many years based on our experience storing millions of records of site data, and satisfies the rules of Fifth Normal Form data structure.

Easy to Use - The best news is that Enviro Data® provides you with all of this scalable power while still being easy to use! Whether you are implementing a data management system from scratch, replacing an outdated older program, or just trying to get your data organized, you can be productive with your new system in just a few hours. Backed up by our widely praised customer support and our rapidly growing list of useful features, Enviro Data is your obvious choice for the latest in site data management software, now and for the future.

Typical Client Feedback - “Faced with managing an overwhelming and expanding amount of environmental data, we had to find a way to store, retrieve and evaluate information for regulatory compliance purposes. Geotech solved our data management problem by developing a customized system, based on their Enviro Data program, tailored to our specific needs. They provided exceptional service and always made the extra effort to explain the rationale behind their work” - VP of Planning, Major Oil Company
