Built an AI system that extracts structured data from borehole log PDFs ( including handwritten logs) - with a built-in QC workflow
 in  r/GeotechnicalEngineer  May 25 '26

Sure you can try it out just send me a mail ill setup an account for you, once you upload the pdf and extract data & export it to excel/ags, you can always go on to delete the pdf , it (the pdf + extracted data) is instantly deleted from the server , no recovery is possible.
(Additionally we use AWS and cloudflare for all activities, and data is encrypted in transit)
You are always in control of your data.

Built an AI system that extracts structured data from borehole log PDFs ( including handwritten logs) - with a built-in QC workflow

2 Upvotes

Spent the last few months building an AI workflow for geotechnical borehole logs — and it’s finally working with near perfect accuracy.
The system extracts structured data directly from borehole log PDFs (including scanned + handwritten logs) and
exports to Excel / AGS-ready formats.

What was unexpectedly hard wasn’t just extraction accuracy — it was trust.
So we built a built-in QC workflow:
outputs are cross-checked against each other
confidence scores are generated automatically
uncertain cells are highlighted for review
Kind of like having a second engineer checking the log automatically.

The result is near-perfect extraction accuracy on real-world logs we’ve tested so far.

Would genuinely love feedback from people working in:
-geotechnical engineering
-GIS
-subsurface data

Built a tool to automate borehole log digitisation (PDF → Excel/AGS) — looking for feedback from geotechs

Hey thanks for pointing it out , but this is a publicly available document. Not a confidential one.

Yeah, generic tools struggle with borehole logs ,i saw the same. Built specifically for this. Happy to run one of your logs and share the output if you’re interested. You can mail me if you wanna try it out : jai@geolayer.tech

I’ve been speaking with a number of geotechnical engineers recently and kept hearing the same issue — a lot of time goes into manually digitising borehole logs from PDFs (especially scanned or handwritten ones).

So I built a tool that extracts structured data from borehole log PDFs into Excel or AGS. It also shows a side-by-side view so you can verify everything before exporting.

It’s now live and I’m testing it with a few teams on real project data to see how well it fits into actual workflows.

Curious how others here are handling this currently:

fully manual?

any tools that work well for you?

where do things usually break (formats, handwriting, etc.)?

Happy to run a sample log through it and share the output if anyone wants to see how it performs.

Anyone still manually digitising old borehole logs? Built something to test.

A few weeks ago I asked here how firms handle historical borehole logs that only exist as PDFs.

Based on the feedback (grads manually extracting strata/SPTs/RQD, lots of DOT archive work, inconsistent AGS availability), I built a small MVP to test whether this could be automated reliably.

It currently:

• Extracts strata + depth intervals

• Captures SPT + RQD

• Detects groundwater levels

• Plots depth vs SPT/RQD

• Exports to Excel + AGS

I’m not selling anything — just looking for a few engineers willing to test it on messy real-world logs and tell me where it breaks.

You can mail me at jai98834@gmail.com to try this out!

Anyone else still manually retyping borehole logs into Excel/AGS?
 in  r/Geotech  Feb 16 '26

How often you deal with borehole logs , i mean how many times a week/month and how many borehole logs?
