How it works

Upload a borehole log PDF — scanned, photographed or handwritten.
GeoLayer's AI extracts depth, strata descriptions, SPT N-values and RQD.
Review and edit any field on screen, with confidence flags on uncertain values.
Export clean, structured data to Excel, AGS4, gINT or OpenGround.

What GeoLayer does

Digitises geotechnical borehole logs from PDF in seconds, not hours.
Reads messy, real-world inputs: scanned, photographed and handwritten field logs.
Extracts depth, strata, SPT and RQD into a structured, editable table.
Exports to Excel (XLSX), AGS4, gINT, OpenGround, CAD (DXF) and CSV.
Generates geotechnical reports, plots and visualises borehole data, and builds 3D ground models.
Keeps an engineer in control: every value is reviewable and editable before export.
Built for confidential site-investigation data — never used for AI training.

Supported export formats

Excel (XLSX), AGS4, gINT, OpenGround, CAD (DXF) and CSV — drop borehole data straight into your existing geotechnical workflow without manual re-keying.

Frequently asked questions

What is GeoLayer?

GeoLayer is an AI-powered borehole log digitiser for geotechnical engineers. It reads borehole logs from PDFs — including scanned and handwritten field logs — and extracts depth, strata descriptions, SPT N-values and RQD, then exports to Excel, AGS4, gINT, OpenGround and CAD. GeoLayer also generates reports, plots and visualises your borehole data, and builds 3D ground models — all in seconds.

Can GeoLayer read scanned and handwritten borehole logs?

Yes. GeoLayer is built specifically for messy, real-world logs — scanned PDFs, photographed field sheets and handwritten borehole records — not just clean digital documents.

What formats can I export borehole data to?

Excel (XLSX), AGS4, gINT, OpenGround, CAD (DXF) and CSV — so you can move borehole data straight into your existing geotechnical workflow without manual re-keying.

How does GeoLayer digitise a borehole log?

Upload a borehole log PDF, GeoLayer's AI extracts the depth, strata, SPT and RQD data, you review and edit any field on screen, then export to Excel or AGS. It takes seconds per log instead of hours of manual data entry.

How long does it take to digitise a borehole log?

Seconds per log. The AI extracts the data and you review it on screen, instead of spending hours on manual data entry.

Can I review and edit the extracted data before exporting?

Yes. Every extracted value is shown on screen with confidence flags on uncertain entries, so an engineer stays in control and can correct any field before exporting.

Does GeoLayer extract SPT and RQD values?

Yes. GeoLayer extracts depth, strata descriptions, SPT N-values and RQD — along with coordinates where present in the log — into a structured, editable table.

Is my data private? Is it used to train AI?

Your engineering data stays yours and is never used for AI training. GeoLayer is built for confidential site-investigation data.

Who is GeoLayer for?

Geotechnical and ground engineers, site-investigation contractors and consultancies who need to digitise borehole logs and get clean, structured data into Excel, AGS, gINT or OpenGround.
