41 A p p e n d i x A introduction The Geotechnical Solutions for Transportation Infrastructure system provides a means for transportation engineers, geologists, planners, officials, engineering consultants, and others to access critical information for geoconstruction technologies. The primary value of the web-based information and guidance system is that it collects, synthesizes, integrates, and organizes a vast amount of critically important information about geoconstruction technologies in a system that makes the information readily accessible to the transportation agency personnel who need it most.
