Why we built this.
Geotechnical data collection hasn't changed much in decades. The tools have. gINT moved to the cloud, OpenGround added modules. But the core workflow is the same: write things down in the field, type them into a database later, wait for lab results, manually compare, find the errors, argue about whose version is correct.
We built Strataworks because that workflow doesn't have to be that painful. The technology to log directly on a tablet, validate against ASTM standards in real time, and sync to your database of record already exists. Someone just needed to put it together in a way that works for geotechnical engineers, not against them.
That means designing for a drill pad, not a desk. It means offline-first, because cell service at a project site is a luxury. It means touch targets big enough for work gloves, contrast ratios readable in Colorado sunlight, and data entry workflows that match how geologists actually think about a borehole: top to bottom, interval by interval.
Built for USACE operations.
Strataworks is built to meet the requirements of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers geotechnical programs. That means ASTM D2488 and D2487 compliance, USCS classification workflows, integration with OpenGround Cloud as the database of record, and deployment in CWBI-authorized cloud infrastructure.
Authentication uses CWBI-approved identity federation. Data stays in government-authorized cloud environments. All AI processing is ephemeral. No government data is used for model training. The platform is designed for IL4 compliance from day one.
We know you've heard this before.
Every new tool promises to fix your workflow. Most of them add complexity instead. We get it. That's why Strataworks doesn't try to replace everything at once.
It's a logging tool first. It does field data entry, validation, and export. It works alongside your existing systems, pushing data to OpenGround, exporting to ArcGIS and Civil 3D. You don't have to rip and replace anything. You just get better data, sooner, with fewer errors.
The team
Kirill Myagkov
CEO
Kirill has spent his career building data systems for industries where getting it wrong is expensive. At Outrig, he built the analytics infrastructure that operations teams relied on to make decisions in the field. He also co-founded a biotech startup and cut his teeth on robotics engineering, designing delivery drones for medical transport. He started Strataworks because geotechnical data deserves the same rigor he saw work in other high-stakes environments.
Owen Daniell
CTO
Owen is an engineering geologist who has spent years on drill rigs and in the field. He worked site investigations at Beca and Stantec, was seconded to cyclone recovery infrastructure at TREC, and spent a season doing search and rescue on Aoraki Mt Cook. He studied geology at Bates College and engineering geology at the University of Canterbury. He knows what logging software should do because he has used the bad ones.
