Yukon Geotechnical Report Metadata With Geographic Coordinates

Yukon's Transportation Engineering Branch maintains an indexed database of geotechnical reports. The metadata includes report reference numbers, titles, authors, and highway kilometer start and end points, with added columns for georeferencing such as route ID, latitude, and longitude. The data is distributed by the Government of Yukon via GeoYukon.

Use Cases

• Georeference reports by joining latitude and longitude coordinates to highway linear referencing routes for GIS mapping.
• Analyze report distribution and density using highway and kilometer start/end points to identify areas of concentrated geotechnical activity.
• Query and filter the report database by author or report reference number for administrative tracking and retrieval.

Strengths

• Includes georeferencing columns like route ID, latitude, and longitude for spatial analysis.
• Managed by the authoritative HPW-TEB Geotechnical Unit within the Yukon government.
• Data format includes ESRI REST service for direct integration with GIS software.

Limitations

• Unknown total number of report records (rows) and specific column count.
• Sample data is unavailable for previewing structure and completeness.
• Relies on accurate highway number and kilometer point entries for correct linear referencing.
