Since it s evolution, Geotechnical engineering is considered one of the sciences that deeply based
on uncertainties. These uncertainties are attributed to two facts. First fact, the formulas used in
geotechnical engineering are empirical formulas and could be deeply affected by the non‌homogeneity of soil formation. The second fact is that always the soil is being characterized
through a group of boreholes that are considered representative for the whole site, which could
result in the missing of some anomalies in soil composition. Hence, geo-technical engineers are
always looking for a technique, that can be used in dealing with these uncertainties. Several
techniques were adopted starting from the sixties of the previous century like knowledge base
expert systems, finite element analysis and finally geo-statistics. But the most sidelined of these
techniques was geo-statistics due to several reasons. Hence, this paper tries to introduce geo‌statistics focusing on its applications in geotechnical engineering specially in soil profiling. It
discusses the reason behind the fact that still the actual implementation of Geo-statistics in
Geotechnical engineering is without real presence in the traditional work of any geotechnical
engineer. Moreover, it introduces a look ahead towards actual implementation of Geo-statistics in
soil profiling through the integration between one of the most mature geo-statistical software
(Sgems) and the GIS software which is ARCGIS of ESRI
