Abstract
The use of Geographical Information System has been widely used in this age of
modern times in creating, manipulating, analysing, storing and displaying information
based on its location. It is a versatile and powerful tool in managing and storing critical
data such as soil investigation report and geographical information of a site. This study
reviews the capabilities of GIS in storing and collating data of Soil Investigation (SI)
reports of several projects done in Pulau Penang. SI reports comes in hardcopy form
which is cumbersome and a waste of material resource. By using the powerful tool of
GIS and presenting the SI laboratory data in digital form in an organized and easy to
access format will offer a much more efficient chain of work. This data inventory
management system is also versatile and can be updated and expand with newer SI
reports from other location or project. This collation of data preserve and archive the data
as it can be used as reference by other professionals for designing purposes.
