Data ownership & exit
G& is a system of control, not a cage. Approved records can be exported in AGS 4.1 and Excel, retrieved on request, and used wherever your engineering team needs them. If you leave, you take your data with you.
Portable by design
The export is built for both sides of the engineering workflow: AGS 4.1 for controlled submission and Excel for practical review, analysis and handover.
Export approved geotechnical records as an AGS 4.1 package, with the dictionary version and validation status recorded alongside the deliverable.
Boreholes · samples · tests · groundwater · laboratory results · validation outcome
Export the same approved record set to Excel for review, analysis, client handover or migration into another system.
Structured worksheets · field identifiers · depths · units · results · approval state
Retrieval process
A request is handled as a controlled handover, not a negotiation. The customer decides the scope; G& confirms the authorised requester and records what was delivered.
A customer administrator can start an export from the platform. If your deployment requires assisted retrieval, send the request through your nominated customer contact or G& support channel.
G& verifies the requester against the customer estate and confirms the projects, areas and date range in scope before preparing the package.
The completed AGS 4.1 and Excel files are delivered through the agreed secure channel. The export record states what was included, when it was produced and which validation state it represents.
On termination, G& supports a final export, confirms receipt with the authorised customer contact, and deletes the customer estate on the schedule agreed in the contract.
The position
Your team should choose G& because the workflow is better — never because the data has become difficult to move. The same principle applies whether you are reviewing one area, migrating an archive or closing an estate.
Tender-ready clarity
We can confirm the export scope, secure delivery method, retention window and deletion schedule for your deployment in the agreement. Ask for the data portability note alongside the security pack.
