HazView for Geotechs
Every hazard, every inspection, every control, all in one place.
HazView gives geotechnical engineers a single, georeferenced view of every ground hazard on site: from the moment it’s raised, through inspection and analysis, to the controls that close it out. No more chasing photos across emails, radios and spreadsheets.
Follow one shift01 Where it starts
The old method
A crack gets called in over the radio. Someone takes a photo on their phone and it sits there. You drive out, try to find the right spot, and take your own photos on a camera that lives in the ute. Back at the office you write up the hazard in Word, save it to a network drive, email the controls to the supervisors, and hope everyone’s looking at the same version. Two shifts later, nobody’s quite sure whether the controls actually went in.
The engineering is the easy part. The admin, the version control, and the chasing is what eats your day.
02 The shift
A day with HazView
One day, from the overnight readings to the call you have to make.
Arrive On Site
Open HazView and go straight to the map. Overnight, two new geotechnical hazards were raised, both flagged for your attention. You can see exactly where they are before you’ve even finished your coffee. No hunting through the OCE report to work out what changed.
Review The Detail
Tap the first hazard. There’s the description, the initial rating, and, crucially, the photos the night shift operator took when they raised it. You can see the crack, its position relative to the crest, and the notes they added. You’ve already formed a plan before you leave the office.
Inspect In The Field
Drive out to the hazard. HazView takes you straight to it on the map. You inspect the ground, take fresh photos directly in the app, and log your inspection on the spot: measurements, observations, and your assessment. Everything is georeferenced and timestamped against the hazard. No transcribing later.
Analyse & Report
Back at the office, you pull up the hazard with the night-shift photos and your inspection photos side by side. You add your analysis and recommended controls, then generate a one-page hazard report straight out of HazView, formatted, branded, and ready to share. No copy-paste, no template wrangling.
Attach Controls
Attach the report and your recommended controls to the hazard. The moment you do, HazView emails the relevant supervisors with the controls you’ve recommended: exclusion zones, signage, monitoring frequency. They get it in writing, linked back to the hazard, with your report attached. Nothing gets lost in a corridor conversation.
Close The Loop
Later in the shift you check back. The supervisors have marked the controls as in place and verified them, with their own photos of the bunting and signage attached. You can see the hazard is being managed exactly as you recommended, without making a single phone call to confirm it.

04 In their words
The bottom line
I used to spend half my day writing up hazards and chasing whether controls went in. Now the report writes itself and I can see the controls verified from my desk.
Geotechs using HazView on site
HazView takes the admin out of geotechnical engineering, so your expertise goes into the ground, not the paperwork.
