ABSTRACT
The article discusses the need to create a unified engineering geology information database. Taking into consideration the fact that the stored information is found in a scattered way (paper, electronic, separate reports), its wider application is complicated. The given paper deals with the basic principles of creating a common database of engineering geology, as well as making reporting forms to facilitate the work of the geological engineer and to satisfy the need in geological information by various departments and specialists. To solve this problem the authors proposed the developed software module Geokonstruktor, which uses a modern computer technology for its efficient use. As a prototype, the software solution is offered that implements the interaction between the relational database and geological constructions that are implemented to use GIS and other popular products. The developed software module Geokonstruktor has become the solution of this kind. Currently, the software is widely used to maintain the database of potassium enterprises, which is a part of the single mining and geological information system of the subsoil usage.

Introduction
One of the problems of engineering and geological software in the project activity is that the results of the executed engineering and geological prospecting are often stored in the paper or digital form as separate electronic reports, which is an obstacle to the wider application of this information for practical purposes. A great amount of engineering geological information was accumulated in previous years. For example, on the territory of the city of Perm, in its departmental stocks the data is stored which numbers about 60,000 geological wells drilled within the city boundaries. Putting this data together, we would be able to obtain the full picture of the geotechnical structure of the territory that could make it possible to accept the well-grounded decisions about the construction of buildings and structures, and the possible risks. This data is expected to meet the needs in geological information by various departments and specialists. The most demanded geological information resources are: geological structure of the territory, engineering geological conditions of areas and massifs (state and properties of rocks, hydro-geological conditions, evolution of engineering geological processes).
