In the geotechnical and construction materials testing (CMT) industries, clarity and precision are everything. Paper maps and legacy software often leave firms stuck in a loop of inefficiency, manual errors, and communication gaps between field and office teams. That’s why Aldoa’s Digital Site Map is a game-changer—a purpose-built, cloud-based solution tailored for modern geotechnical and materials testing workflows.
In this article, we’ll explore the key capabilities of Aldoa’s Digital Site Map, how it outperforms outdated systems, and why leading firms are adopting it to streamline project tracking, data collection, and collaboration.
The Digital Site Map is an integrated feature within Aldoa’s geotechnical and CMT data management platform. It provides teams with an interactive, visual interface to manage and track all field testing activities spatially, directly linked to site plans and project data.
Whether you’re a field technician, lab analyst, or project manager, the Digital Site Map gives you a centralized, map-based view of everything happening on-site—from boring locations and test pits to compaction and concrete test points.
Aldoa makes it easy to view all field testing locations on an interactive map. Whether you’re logging concrete cylinders, density tests, or SPT blow counts, each location is pinned and categorized in a list view. No more flipping through field notebooks, spreadsheets, or searching a new project for each test site—every location is traceable, searchable, and up-to-date.
Each map pin isn’t just a marker—it’s a data hub. With a single click, you can open every form associated with that testing location. This means your field data, test results, notes, and photos are all directly linked to their spatial context, consolidating your information and reducing the risk of errors.
Say goodbye to hauling around large paper plans. Aldoa lets you upload detailed site plans (including multi-page files), then create custom layers for different testing phases, site information, or areas of notice. Need to separate utility trench backfill compaction tests from foundation footings? Simply toggle layers to isolate the view.
Digitally mark up your plans with annotations, drawings, or notes. Whether you’re flagging retest areas, drawing access routes, or noting failed test zones, Aldoa turns your site plan into a living document—no more red pens or messy scans.
Plotting new test locations is seamless. Click to drop a pin, then input detailed descriptions such as:
Test type (e.g., ASTM D1557)
Depth or elevation
Date/time
Assigned technician
Status (pass/fail/in-progress)
This makes Aldoa’s Digital Site Map a rich spatial database of all testing performed, organized and filterable by key attributes.
Unlike paper-based workflows or siloed legacy tools, Aldoa’s cloud-based system ensures everyone—from the field tech to the lab manager—has real-time access to site conditions and data. This prevents costly miscommunications and supports faster decision-making.
Every annotation, location, and form is timestamped and version-controlled, giving you a complete audit trail. If disputes arise with clients or regulatory bodies, Aldoa makes it easy to demonstrate what was tested, when, and by whom.
Unlike generic GIS or construction management software, Aldoa is built specifically for geotechnical and materials testing teams. Features like form integration, layered site plan views, and field-to-office syncing are built for the unique needs of firms who collect and manage test data on a daily basis.
Because field data is entered once—on site, in context—it reaches the office and reporting staff without transcription delays or mislabeling. This speeds up test result turnaround and report generation.
Geotechnical Investigations: Log boreholes, CPTs, and test pits on a unified map, linked directly to boring logs and lab test results.
Construction Materials Testing: Track compaction tests, concrete pours, and rebar inspections across multi-phase projects.
QA/QC Monitoring: Use map-based overlays to highlight areas that require retesting or failed inspection resolution.
For geotechnical engineering and materials testing firms seeking a better way to manage site data, Aldoa’s Digital Site Map is the clear alternative to paper maps and antiquated tools. With spatial intelligence, real-time access, and built-in field workflows, your team can work smarter—not harder.
