3-dimensional geological & formation model, Nachterstedt, Germany

Project description:

Extension of an established 3D model of the Nachterstedt area regarding the adjacent Frose area field. Establishment and update of the 3D formation model by means of Surpac™ model software that forms a geological base for hydrogeological and geotechnical analyses of slope slides.

Services:

Adoption of geological data from borehole logs including plausibility check
Digital recording of historical geological cross-sections and surveys
Transformation of the geological data into Surpac™ conformity
Establishment of a 3D interface model for totally 39 stratigraphic units
Implementation of the hollows from open cast mining and from historical mining structures (panels, mining sections) into the 3D formation model
Evaluation of geological data (layers’ distribution, thicknesses, hydraulic bypasses, location of special mining structures)
Data processing for interchange formats (Microsation, GoCad, PCGeoFim)

Advantages:

3D visualization of the underground conditions to improve the understanding of interconnections
Data supply for specific professional models (hydrogeology, geotechnical safety)

Additional project data:

Model area: 10 km²
Number of considered boreholes and information: > 1 000
Number of geological model layers: 39
