How It Works

1

Upload Your File

Drop in a PDF or snap a photo — typed, CAD-generated, scanned, or handwritten field logs. Up to 100 pages per file.

2

Automated Extraction

Boring log pages are automatically identified and parsed — SPT counts, soil layers, lab results, groundwater levels, and coordinates.

3

Download Your Data

Get structured data as DIGGS XML, JSON, or an interactive HTML viewer you can share with your team.

What Gets Extracted

SPT Blow Counts & Samples

Sample intervals, N-values, sample types, and recovery percentages extracted from every boring.

Soil & Rock Descriptions

Full lithology descriptions with USCS classification codes and layer boundary depths.

Lab Results

Moisture content, Atterberg limits, grain size distribution, and unit weight data.

Groundwater Levels

Water level readings, observation dates, and stabilization measurements.

Boring Location & Info

Boring ID, coordinates, elevation, drilling dates, methods, and contractor information.

Multi-Page Borings

Automatically groups continuation pages and handles side-by-side boring layouts.

Handwritten & Photos

Works with handwritten field logs, phone photos, scanned documents, and CAD-generated PDFs.

Why Boring Log Digitizer

Works With Any Format

Handles diverse boring log formats and layouts automatically — no templates to configure.

Fast Processing

Pages are classified in seconds and data is extracted in parallel. Most documents finish in 1–2 minutes.

Your Data Stays Private

Files are processed in memory and never stored on our servers. Results auto-delete after 24 hours.

Industry Standard Output

Outputs DIGGS 3.0 XML — the geotechnical data exchange standard — plus JSON and interactive viewers.

Built for Geotechs

Designed by geotechnical engineers. Understands SPT, CPT, soil classifications, and lab test data.

Nonprofit Mission

Built by Geosetta, a nonprofit. Your credits help fund open geotechnical data for the entire industry.

Tested Across Real DOT Data

Validated against boring log formats from state DOTs and geological surveys across North America.
