About Datgel DGD Tool
gINT software provides sophisticated and flexible support for geotechnical and geoenvironmental data management and reporting. Based on a user-friendly database, it eliminates repetitive data entry and reduces human errors. The Datgel DGD Tool (DGDT) extends the capability of gINT for geotechnical, contaminated land and hydrogeological site investigations and geotechnical lab result storage, and reporting, and is also the native database for Datgel's tools.
