Saalg offers DAARWIN, a cloud‑native platform that centralises all geotechnical data—borehole logs, test results, instrumentation, and TBM records—throughout a construction or mining project’s lifecycle. The platform provides real‑time back‑analysis, sensitivity studies, automated report digitisation, and AI‑assisted rock‑mass classification, enabling engineers to optimise designs on‑site and improve safety and sustainability.

Problem
Construction and mining projects generate large volumes of geotechnical data—from borehole logs and laboratory tests to instrumentation monitoring and TBM records—but this information is often scattered across disparate systems, making it difficult to access, analyse, and act on in real time. The lack of integrated, cloud‑based tools hampers timely decision‑making, increases design risk, and limits the ability to optimise designs during construction.
Solution
DAARWIN is a cloud‑native platform that centralises all geotechnical data throughout a project’s lifecycle, providing a unified workspace for data ingestion, management, and advanced analysis. It incorporates public ground information, borehole and test data, instrumentation & monitoring streams, and TBM data, all stored in a high‑performance cloud environment. Built‑in sensitivity analysis and real‑time back‑analysis modules enable engineers to rapidly evaluate design alternatives and update parameters on‑site, reducing reliance on manual, time‑consuming calculations. The platform also offers automated digitisation of geotechnical reports and AI‑assisted rock mass classification, delivering consistent, reproducible results. By delivering these capabilities through a secure web interface, DAARWIN supports smarter, safer, and more sustainable construction and mining operations.
Target Audience
Primary users are geotechnical engineers, project managers, and design teams in construction and mining firms that require integrated data management and real‑time analytical tools for site investigation, monitoring, and design optimisation.
