This paper evaluates how subsurface database management fits into and complements the traditional procedures and practices in geoenvironmental engineering and enables easier interoperability with other engineering disciplines. The presentation reveals how subsurface data, when properly managed in geoenvironmental database can be easily turned into information and supplied to engineers in various disciplines in a desirable form that can be quickly and easily interpreted. Managing and modeling subsurface data consists of many aspects and this presentation places an emphasis is placed on modeling of subsurface strata, Building Information Modeling (BIM) and an interdisciplinary approach.
