Automatically gather geotechnical data
AI for Geotechnical & Geological Engineering
Automate time consuming manual transcription from PDF reports
- Gathering up as much data as possible about the site is key in reduce Geotechnical risk.
- Extensive searches of borehole data are a critical part of this process.
- With Civils.ai, simply type drag and drop geotechnical reports to extract borehole data.
- We extract the data into digital files which integrate with your modelling software and downstream tools.
- Create an end to end digital workflow for gathering data on your projects.
Kick start your geological modelling workflow
- Extract borehole data into files which integrate with your modelling software including Excel, AGS, GIS Shapefiles and DXF files.
- Visualise the data yourself with our 2D and 3D section viewing tools.
- Make any final edits to the data to suit your preferences.
- Download the digitial files and integrate into your downstream software like OpenGround or LeapFrog for detailed modelling.
We've helped multi-national firms build their geotechnical database
- We have experience in helping firms digitise vast archives of geotechnical information including 10,000+ boreholes.
- Investing in your company database helps you to avoid rework and is becoming best practice for all geotechnical organisations.
- With our GIS mapping solution we can offer a lightweight version of the database ourselves but specialise in helping you build your own by providing you with high quality data from your historic project logs.
We even read accurately from scanned and handwritten reports
- We read the most challenging document types.
- There is no need to split the geotechnical reports into individual boreholes yourself, simply drag and drop the full report and our software handles the rest
What our clients say
We are always improving our software and expanding the range of takeoffs we support. Here are our latest capabilities:
1 takeoff = 1 takeoff on 1 drawing sheet for 1 trade.
Examples
- Measure floor areas on 1 drawing sheet = 1 takeoff
- Measure floor areas & electrical fittings on same sheet = 2 takeoffs
- Measure the same trade across 3 sheets = 3 takeoffs
For multi-trade takeoffs, max charge is capped 5 takeoffs / drawing sheet.
No. However, “Unlimited AI searches & checks” covers standard in-app AI searches and checks, following our fair use policy assuming that one single person is using one single account.
This includes typical query-based tasks such as reviewing documents, checking information, and running standard AI-assisted checks.
Some AI Agents can go beyond simple searches and checks (for example: multi-step agent workflows). These advanced agents may be priced separately on a custom basis.
Where custom pricing applies, we will scope and confirm this with you in advance.
Your uploaded data is stored within a relational database and cloud object storage with our best in class cloud infrastructure provider. All documents are anonymised, un-anonymised data is only viewable from the user account from which the data was uploaded.
All data is transmitted through TLS and uses best practice encryption.
You can automatically delete any data you uploaded at any time by clicking the delete button related to the project or document.
You can also write to us to request that we delete your data at any time and all data related to you will be deleted when you delete your account.
Data is stored securely on servers in the United States, by a vetted, best in class cloud infrastructure provider.
We currently support any form of PDF document or drawings (including handwritten and scanned PDF).
For takeoffs from modern PDFs, we achieve over 97% accuracy.
For hand-drawn or older PDFs (before 1975) these are more challenging and such a high degree of accuracy cannot be guaranteed.
We use a human-in-the-loop process on all AI extracted data to ensure output accuracy.
Workflow processing time can vary depending on how complex the data is being extracted and we aim to return results within 24 hours.
After you start a workflow running you can close Civils.ai and will be notified once the data extraction is completed via email.
