analysis and the use of digital twins to compare historical and monitoring data with numerical models of soil behavior. DAARWIN integrates information from sensors such as inclinometers, piezometers, and extensometers, allowing for early detection of instabilities and adjusting predictive models to reflect the actual behavior of the ground. A key feature is its ability to optimize geotechnical designs through parametric analysis, reducing the overuse of materials and CO2
emissions associated DAARWIN: the details
DAARWIN is an innovative digital tool designed specifically for the construction and mining industries, offering seamless management and analysis of critical project data. It integrates Public Ground Information Access, Data Management Tools (Borehole logs, In-Situ & Laboratory Tests, I&M Data, and TBM Data), High-Performance Cloud Computing for Sensitivity & Backanalysis, and Geotechnical Reports Digitalisation Capabilities, centralising all project data and ensuring it is accessible at every stage of the project lifecycle.
Public Ground Information System: centralises publicly available ground information, simplifying early project planning with seamless, one-click access to critical geotechnical data. Ground Investigation Data Management: DAARWIN transforms raw geotechnical data into comprehensive digital ground models, enabling a clear understanding of subsurface conditions to support smarter, data-driven decisions.
with construction. Additionally, its cloud-based interface enables fast, data-driven decisions, ensuring that projects are developed according to the original design. This not only increases safety but also minimizes risks and costs in complex projects. This technology represents a significant shift by
providing a comprehensive tool for efficient risk management, transforming real-time monitoring into a standard in critical infrastructure projects such as dams.
