SPT Log Spreadsheet
SPT Log Spreadsheet
(OP)
Hey,
I am looking for a efficient borehole log spreadsheet with SPTs (that show values with a graph along the depth), UDs etc.
Do you have one?
Regards.

RE: SPT Log Spreadsheet
My experience with logs that go with reports (thousands of them) is that no one looks at the logs in the report for the most part. Pretty logs, fancy report binders and the like make no difference as to how it is used. I even found most structural engineers designing foundations only look for a few items and then get on with their work.

But what I was looking for nothing fancy, but fast way to prepare logs for our geological engineers.

It then stuck home to me that I really hadn't done the job he wanted, if he couldn't find his info without having to call me for it.
One way we then changed our approach to our work was to hire an expert in promoting the company. He interviewed many of our regular clients and even some that were not regular. Their guidance for streamlining reports has helped a lot. However, some engineers continued to insist on a lot of verbiage for some reason.
Later I decided to sell my interest in the company and do some consulting on my own. After the n on-compete clause had expired I contacted some of the old clients. I was amazed to hear that the thick reports were not wanted (they figured it raised the cost I suppose). Also, some non-regular clients gladly made the switch to me, complaining about certain engineers at the former company and their "service".
Checking with clients certainly opened our eyes as to what they want.
In direct answer to your request, spreadsheet logs are fine, but why the graph? Do your own as a standard that you bring up and just fill in the new data for each boring.

It is not in Excel, it is web based but you can download and upload your logs as needed. It is also free.
