Geotechnical software that works for the engineer, not the other way around

Geotechnical engineering requires specialized software — but the tools that exist today were designed for large firms with dedicated software budgets. Per-seat licensing and annual maintenance fees add up fast. The result: most teams share one license, EITs wait in line, and experienced engineers waste time reformatting spreadsheets into something presentable.

GEOpetra exists to fix that. Our goal is to make professional-grade geotechnical analysis accessible to any engineer who needs it — not just firms with a dedicated software budget. And our software will grow — with you, and because of your valuable feedback.

We are offering GEOpetra for free as we work to penetrate the market and transform the way geotechnical engineers use software in their practice. We are working non-stop to provide a continually growing suite of useful engineering software to you. We hope that after you spend some time with GEOpetra, you'll consider making a recurring or one-time “name-your-price” payment to help us keep the lights on and grow our user base. At some point, we will be implementing subscription-based pricing at a fraction of the cost of the established enterprise software, and at that time, we will thank you for your support by offering discounts on your subscription and continuing to provide excellent software that meaningfully improves the way we perform our craft. Thank you for supporting GEOpetra.

Every calculation in GEOpetra is based on established, published methodology — industry design manuals, recognized geotechnical standards, and classical theory developed over decades of practice. Results include full methodology references so output is traceable, reviewable, and defensible.

We believe good tools should get out of the way. If you understand the engineering, you should be able to run a calculation in minutes — not after a two-day onboarding session with a vendor.
