This page serves three main purposes:
  • To share which technical software packages PAETORO possesses in house for geotechnical analysis
  • To share some specific tools, mainly excel templates, that are for use at your own risk, but which we have developed and found useful
  • To share some other tools which - if you are a fellow start-up -  you might find useful in the context of general company framework
This is not an exhaustive list of the packages used in the past, just those currently in-house licensed to PAETORO.   A variety of other packages such as Kingdom and MATLAB are also in use via client licences.
