Carlson GeoTech 2026

Carlson Geotech 2026 – Geotechnical Software for AEC, Environmental & Construction Professionals

Carlson Geotech is a robust geotechnical and drilling software solution built for AEC firms, environmental consultants, and construction professionals who rely on accurate subsurface data for planning, compliance, and build-ready design

Designed to work directly within IntelliCAD or AutoCAD, Carlson Geotech streamlines the collection, analysis, and presentation of drilling data, soil and material classifications, borehole logs, and cross sections—eliminating duplicate drafting and preserving CAD intelligence throughout the project lifecycle

Environmental and geotechnical teams use Carlson Geotech to document soil stratigraphy, groundwater conditions, and subsurface materials for environmental site assessments, remediation planning, landfill design, and regulatory reporting. Customizable templates and standardized symbology support consistent documentation aligned with agency and project requirements

For construction and infrastructure projects, Carlson Geotech delivers clear, CAD-ready outputs to support foundation design, earthwork planning, utility coordination, and risk mitigation. Borehole logs, fence diagrams, and profiles integrate seamlessly with civil and structural drawings, improving coordination between engineers, contractors, and stakeholders

From early investigation through final construction documentation, Carlson Geotech helps teams reduce manual drafting, improve data accuracy, and produce professional deliverables faster—all within a familiar AutoCAD environment
