Obtaining Geotechnical Data

Students of Civil Engineering can obtain CPT data and other geotechnical data for free at the DINOLoket of TNO_NiTG: dinoloket.tno.nl.

The DINOLoket is a data-bank of geological information concerning deep and shallow foundations in the Netherlands and is managed by TNO-NiTG in Utrecht. Executives of geotechnical investigations and students can get (temporary) acces to DINOLoket. In order to gain access, you need to send your name, address, residence and email address to peter.jellema@tno.nl, after which a Username and Password will be supplied.

With these access codes you can log in to the data-bank and request data files, which will be provided in GEF format. To open GEF files you need special software:

GEF PlotTool
This program plots GEF files. (Delft GeoSystems Tool)
Common Files
These support the GEF PlotTool and should be downloaded and installed before using the program.
More information about GEFPlotTool, can be found on: www.delftgeosystems.nl.
