Nourin 1.0.0 · Included in CiviLab 2027

The artificial intelligence agent of CiviLab 2027

CiviLab centralizes data entry, calculation and reporting for your tests, from site to office. The Nourin artificial intelligence agent is built in: it flags possible errors in test sheets, interprets the results and writes the reports.

20interpretation, calculation and writing tasks
4bearing capacity methods: DPT, CPT, SPT, pressuremeter
2Word reports generated: geotechnical and concrete mix design
99 $per month, in addition to your CiviLab license

What Nourin changes in your laboratory

The tests are already in CiviLab. What takes time is reviewing them one by one, interpreting them, then bringing everything together in a presentable report. That is exactly where Nourin comes in.

Without Nourin

  • Manual review of sheetsEach sheet is reviewed by hand to spot a doubtful entry, an out-of-range value or a swapped unit.
  • No test interpretationThe software calculates and plots, but interpretation remains entirely the engineer's job, test by test.
  • Plates pasted in one by oneTest plates are exported then manually reinserted into the document, in the right order and at the right scale.
  • Report assembled by handWriting, assembly, pagination and table of contents are done manually, and everything has to be redone whenever a test is added.
  • References to look upEvery definition and every standardized category is checked in the book or the standard, outside the software.

With Nourin

  • Automatic test interpretationIn-depth reading of the results of each sheet, with the interpretation comment written in French or English.
  • Automatic error detectionInconsistencies are flagged as the sheet is read, with suggested solutions for several tests.
  • Export of interpretation reportsEach interpreted test can be exported separately, ready to be attached to the file.
  • Project geotechnical reportReport written for the whole project, organized by investigation area, with the actual plates in the appendix.
  • Concrete mix design reportMix design document written for the four methods: Dreux-Gorisse, Bolomey, Faury and ACI 211.1.
  • Automatic assemblyReport written, assembled, paginated and given a table of contents automatically, in an editable Word document.
  • Geotechnical questions and answersSoil mechanics and geotechnics: answers are backed by identified references.

Nourin at work

A test sheet open in CiviLab 2027, from reading the data to the written interpretation.

Nourin's twenty tasks

Each task reads what CiviLab produced, applies the definitions of the standard and writes its interpretation. No formula is reinvented.

Soil test interpretation

Each test sheet reviewed, checked and commented.

Atterberg limits LCPC and GTR classification Proctor test CBR test CBR study on a group of tests Oedometer test Direct shear

Aggregates and quality control

Standardized categories and measurement consistency.

Sand equivalent Los Angeles test Micro-Deval test Pressuremeter test quality control

Boreholes and lithology

The log reviewed interval by interval, including vocabulary.

Borehole log and RQD Column borehole log

Foundation calculations

Bearing capacity and settlement tabulated by depth step.

Dynamic penetrometer Cone penetration test (CPT and CPTu) SPT test Menard pressuremeter

Document production

From the test file to the deliverable document.

Geotechnical report Concrete mix design report Borehole location figure

A deterministic method

The interpretations and reports written by Nourin rely on deterministic approaches, not on artificial intelligence. Nourin reads CiviLab's output, applies the definitions of the standards and flags what is wrong. The engineer's signature remains the engineer's own.
