Extract data from PDF borehole logs
AI for Geotechnical & Geological Engineering
How it works
Upload PDFs & Run
Drag and drop your geotechnical report PDFs into Civils.ai and click Run. Civils.ai automatically begins processing entire reports, including scanned and handwritten logs.
Extract into AGS 4.1 & Excel
The system extracts borehole and lab test data into structured formats — AGS and Excel — ready for QA/QC and integration with your existing workflows.
Geo-located for Mapping
Extracted data is geo-referenced with coordinates so you can map, visualise, and analyse your ground model across sites and projects.
Data extraction accuracy
Extract 16+ different groups of geotech data
Maintains accuracy even for historic scanned reports
Unforseen ground conditions are one of the biggest risks to successfully bidding and delivering infrastructure projects.
Minimise the risk costly surprises with your site by assimilating and analysing your data for risks.
The quality and availability of your geotech data is an edge over your competition.
Invest in the quality of your geotechnical to give you confidence to optimise your designs and deliver more on your projects.
Use AI to gather and structure data from numerous different sources.
Convert entire PDF geotechical reports into geo-referenced digital boreholes plotted on your private map.
Download your data in AGS formats ready for integrating into OpenGround and Leapfrog.
We save your staff's time by eliminating manual transcription of borehole data.
Our solution is 80% cheaper than asking your Engineers and Geologists to manually transcribe boreholes themselves.
Civils.ai pays for itself on your first project (not considering all our other features).

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.
“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 document data is anonymised and 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 extraction of data from modern PDF's, we achieve over 95% accuracy including from complex table structures.
For handrawn or older PDF's (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.
We use maximum payment security. If your card is not accepted firstly, disable your VPN or proxy server. Then make sure your name, CVC and postal code match the one on your payment card and of your bank account. Also your card country should be the same as your billing country. And finally make sure you enable 3D Secure or similar authentication on your card with your bank.
