The aim of this project was to capture, extract and upload  geotechnical data  into  an  easily  accessible,  single  source  geotechnical  database.  Using  Rio Tinto Coal Australia  (RTCA)  as  a  case  study,  the  project  formed  a  framework  for  future  database  implementations by outlining the systematic project application of the database. By providing a single source database, frequent engineering tasks at RTCA were  automated  which  significantly  increased  engineering  efficiency  and  accuracy.  Additionally, comprehensive Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QAQC) checks improved overall data integrity, resulting in enhanced data confidence.
