Mapping AGS Data to EQuIS Geotechnical Format in EQuIS Link

The Association of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Specialists (AGS) Data Format focuses on standardizing electronic data transfer related to engineering investigations, construction, and laboratory testing. EQuIS Link supports the AGS 4 format file as a data source.

An example AGS 4 Link mapping file (AGS 4 Link Mapping.link) is provided with EQuIS Professional in the Examples\Link folder (e.g., C:\Program Files\EarthSoft\EQuIS\Examples\Link). The AGS 4 Link Mapping.link Mapping Project Template file maps a limited selection of the Groups included in AGS Version 4.1 to the EQuIS Geotechnical format (Geotechnical.zip). The AGS Groups mapped in the example Link AGS 4 mapping file are:

•PROJ

•BKFL

•CDIA

•CMPT

•DETL

•GEOL

•GRAT

•HDIA

•HDPH

•HORN

•ISPT

•LLPL

•LNMC

•LOCA

•MONG

•MOND

•PIPE

•PTIM

•SAMP

•WSTD

•WTSG

•WADD

•CHIS

•IPID

•CORE

•FRAC

•IPEN

•IRES

To properly import the AGS Data Format Version 4.1 into EQuIS, the AGS Data Format file must follow the transfer file format rules outlined by AGS (https://www.ags.org.uk/). The example AGS 4 Link Mapping.link Mapping Project Template file can be modified as needed by clients. Please see the EQuIS Link documentation for details or contact EarthSoft Support for additional assistance.
