GeoLayer / Borehole Log Digitiser

Convert Borehole Logs to AGS4

GeoLayer turns borehole log PDFs into AGS4 — the standard data-transfer format for geotechnical and geoenvironmental data. Extract depth, strata, SPT and RQD from any log and export AGS4 you can hand straight to a client or load into your software.

AGS4 without the manual keying

AGS files are tedious to build by hand and easy to get wrong. GeoLayer extracts the data from your PDF logs and structures it for AGS4 export, so you get a consistent, shareable dataset without re-keying every field.

Reads scanned, handwritten and digital borehole logs
Extracts depth, strata, SPT N-values, RQD and coordinates
Exports AGS4 — plus Excel, gINT, OpenGround, CAD and CSV
Engineer-in-the-loop review before export keeps the data trustworthy

Fits your existing toolchain

AGS4 is the lingua franca of UK and international ground investigation data. Exporting clean AGS from GeoLayer means your logs move between consultancies, contractors and software without manual reformatting.

Building AGS4 by hand vs GeoLayer

	Building AGS4 manually	GeoLayer
Data entry	Key every field into the AGS structure	AI extracts the fields, you review
Error risk	Easy to mis-key or break the format	Reviewed on screen before export
Source logs	Digital only, unless typed up first	Scanned, handwritten or digital
Also exports	AGS only	Excel, CAD (DXF) and CSV alongside AGS4

Frequently asked questions

Does GeoLayer export AGS4?

Yes. GeoLayer extracts borehole data from PDF logs and exports it to AGS4, as well as Excel, gINT, OpenGround, CAD (DXF) and CSV.

Can it produce AGS from scanned or handwritten logs?

Yes. GeoLayer is designed for scanned, photographed and handwritten logs, not only clean digital PDFs.
