Some national stakeholders are using their power as a commissioning client to mandate the use of AGS (V3.1 GSPEC) in their major projects and the donation of data to the BGS as the national data store.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Although some organisations may still consider their geotechnical data a private asset and do not wish to share them, there are many more who understand that openly donating their data brings a raft of benefits. The most notable is building a national resource of quality, open, AGS or geotechnical data that can be consulted in the initial stages of a construction project, enabling the builders to have access to greater amounts of quality data to begin their planning, designing and management of the new project. This helps to addresses the risk of the unknowns, ultimately de-risking the project and saving costs for the industry.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Open data and the encouragement of compliance with the industry-standard format (AGS) reduces the burden on organisations to store data themselves, so less time is spent on searching for and managing data.
