Frequently Asked Questions

General

What is GeoQC?

GeoQC is an offline-first QC documentation app for geomembrane installations. It replaces paper forms and spreadsheets with a digital workflow that covers deployment tracking, seam documentation, repair logging, destructive testing, as-built drawings, and CQA report generation.

Who is GeoQC for?

GeoQC is designed for CQA inspectors, geomembrane installation contractors, project engineers, and facility owners involved in geomembrane liner projects (landfills, mining, water management, agriculture, energy).

How is GeoQC different from general construction QC software?

GeoQC is purpose-built for geomembrane QC. It understands seam tracking, destructive test frequencies, welder qualifications, trial weld requirements, and ASTM/GRI specifications. General construction tools don't have these domain-specific workflows.

Trial and pricing

Is GeoQC free to try?

Yes. Your first project is completely free — no credit card, no time limit, unlimited users. Your whole crew can try it on a real project. You only need to subscribe when you want to start your second project.

What happens when my free project is done?

Your data stays accessible. You can view, export, and download reports. To start a new project, you'll need a paid plan. All paid plans include the complete QC workflow with unlimited users.

How is pricing structured?

Plans are based on how many active projects you run — not how many people you have. Every plan includes unlimited users and the full feature set. No per-seat charges, no feature gating.

Technical

Does GeoQC work without internet?

Yes. GeoQC is built offline-first. All documentation features work without internet. Data syncs automatically when connectivity is available. See Offline Mode & Sync for details.

What happens if my device is lost or damaged?

If your data has synced to the cloud, it's safe. Sign in on a new device, load your projects, and continue working. If data has not yet synced (created offline and not yet connected), it may be lost with the device.

Can I export my data?

Yes. You can export all your data at any time in PDF, CSV, and PNG formats. Your data is yours — we never lock it in.

Compliance

Is GeoQC compliant with ASTM and GRI standards?

GeoQC is built around ASTM D6392, GRI GM13, and GRI GM14 requirements. Destructive test pass/fail calculations follow ASTM specifications automatically. However, GeoQC is a documentation tool — it does not provide regulatory certification. You are responsible for ensuring your documentation meets your project's specific regulatory requirements.

Does GeoQC replace a CQA inspector?

No. GeoQC is a tool that makes CQA inspectors more efficient and accurate. It does not replace professional judgment, field inspection, or quality assurance expertise.

Team and collaboration

Can multiple people work on the same project?

Yes. Every plan includes unlimited users, so your entire crew — technicians, supervisors, inspectors, managers — can document simultaneously, even offline. Data merges when everyone syncs.

Can I control who sees what?

Yes. GeoQC has role-based access control with five roles (Admin, Manager, Supervisor, Technician, Viewer). Team members only see projects they're assigned to. See Team Roles & Permissions for details.
