Portable as all chip and core logging data (lithology and geotechnical) can be entered in the field via laptops or PDA (GPAC lite only)
Convenient single source plotting of Geotechnical, Brightness Profile, Graphic Defect and English Logs
Automatic calculation of Geomechanical Indices
Rock Quality Designation
Rock Mass Rating
Coal Mine Roof Unit Rating for CMRR
Tunnelling Index
Easy importing and exporting of ASCII files that can be downloaded into Vulcan, Minex, ECS and other popular mining software.
Benefits
Saves time and follows the latest information technology trends
Higher degree of accuracy and elimination of errors associated with data entry and calculation
Reduction of time required for production of logs and calculations
Licensing
GPAC licenses are available for purchase or lease at a fraction of the cost of available logging software, with the added benefit of being the only interactive geotechnical logging program on the market.
