GeoLayer / Borehole Log Digitiser
Need borehole data out of an AGS file and into a spreadsheet — or the other way around? GeoLayer works with both AGS4 and Excel, and can also digitise PDF, scanned and handwritten logs into either format.
AGS4 is the standard for exchanging geotechnical data; Excel is where a lot of the actual analysis happens. GeoLayer bridges them so you are not copying values by hand between the two.
An AGS file is structured plain text, not a spreadsheet — opening it raw is hard to read and easy to break. A proper conversion maps the AGS groups into clean, labelled columns you can actually work with in Excel.
| By hand | GeoLayer | |
|---|---|---|
| Reading the AGS structure | Parse the groups and headings yourself | Handled for you |
| Result | Error-prone copy and paste | Clean, labelled Excel columns |
| Works from PDF logs too | No | Yes — digitise, then export |
Yes. GeoLayer works with AGS4 and Excel — you can bring in AGS data and export a clean Excel (XLSX) spreadsheet, and it also digitises PDF, scanned and handwritten logs into both formats.
An AGS file is structured text, so opening it raw is hard to read. GeoLayer maps the AGS data into labelled spreadsheet columns and exports a clean Excel file.
