Extracting and Visualizing Borehole Data with CivilsAI

🔸 Introduction In today's quick demo, I'll show you how to extract data from PDF borehole logs and investigation reports using CivilsAI's powerful features. You'll also learn how to visualize the extracted data in 3D models and 2D sections, gaining a better understanding of your site and project.

🔸 Extracting data from PDF borehole logs and investigation reports To extract data from your PDF borehole logs and investigation reports, CivilsAI offers the Warhol digitizer tool. With this tool, you can easily drag and drop entire PDF geotechnical reports, regardless of their length, onto your private map. CivilsAI will automatically extract information such as borehole geological description, layer thicknesses, test data, water level, and ground level. AGS data can also be uploaded and viewed alongside the extracted PDF data. The extracted data can be downloaded as Excel files or AGS files, either separately or combined into a single file.

🔸 Visualizing borehole data CivilsAI provides simplified 3D modeling and visualization tools to help you visualize and interpret the extracted borehole data. By clicking on the borehole logs on the map, you can access a 3D visualization of the data. The extracted descriptions, tops, and bottoms of the layers are displayed, along with test data such as SBT counts and rqds. CivilsAI also offers resources for estimating and creating correlations using empirical methods, providing approximate design parameters for the extracted test data.

🔸 Requesting public borehole data CivilsAI has pre-digitized a vast amount of boreholes as AGS and Excel files. You can easily request to download this public data by drawing an area on your private map. The requested boreholes will then be integrated into your private data, allowing you to analyze and compare public and private information effectively.

🔸 Visualizing the geology With CivilsAI's visualization tools, interpreting the geology becomes more intuitive. The 3D model tool enables you to set the diameter of the model and generate an approximate 3D simplified model of the site's geology. By reading descriptions from nearby logs, CivilsAI automatically groups the layers and allows customization based on your requirements. You can switch layers on and off, isolate specific layers, and compare the model with the map. Virtual boreholes can also be dropped onto the map, providing an efficient way to explore the site's geology and extrapolate data.

🔸 Cutting sections for 2D visualization For a clearer understanding of the site's geology, CivilsAI offers a 2D section cutting tool. By selecting two points on the map, you can generate an approximate 2D section that estimates the layers based on the descriptions. The sections can be customized by changing the ground level and updating the borehole visibility. The resulting sections can be downloaded as PDF or DXF files, giving you the flexibility to further customize them.

🔸 Conclusion CivilsAI's extraction and visualization tools empower you to efficiently extract data from PDF borehole logs and investigation reports, as well as visualize the extracted information in 3D models and 2D sections. By integrating public borehole data and customizing the models and sections, you gain a comprehensive understanding of your site and project. Explore the possibilities with CivilsAI and streamline your geotechnical analysis and visualization process.
