Bore Logger
Read full descriptionHide full description
Bore Logger is a mobile app built for geotechnical field crews to log borings, samples, and site data directly from a phone — no clipboard, no paperwork, no re-entering data back at the office. Built around the way fieldwork actually happens across geotechnical bore logging, environmental bore logging, well installation, and pavement coring, with support for SPT, Shelby tube, California, Sonic, Rock Core, and water table samples — each capturing exactly the fields it needs (blow counts, recovery, RQD, pocket penetrometer and torvane readings) without cluttering the form with fields that don't apply. ENVIRONMENTAL SAMPLING, BUILT IN Log soil and water samples — including groundwater, equipment blanks, and more — right alongside your standard geotechnical samples, without needing to leave the boring you're working on. PROFESSIONAL PDF LOGS, GENERATED ON-SITE Every boring exports as a clean, print-ready PDF — complete with your company branding, a full project header, sample tables, and attached field photos — ready to share before you've even left the site. Photos are automatically optimized to keep file sizes reasonable, even for long borings with several photos attached. BUILT FOR THE FIELD Attach photos directly to samples, capture GPS coordinates for boring locations, and work through poor-signal conditions without losing your progress. SECURE, COMPANY-BASED ACCESS Bore Logger is licensed per company, with individual logins for your team — so your firm's data stays your firm's data. WHY BORE LOGGER Bore Logger isn't built by a software company guessing at what geotechnical field crews need — it's built by a practicing geotechnical engineer who uses it on real jobs, for real reports. It's field-first, not desktop-first: designed for the phone in your hand at the drill site, not the office computer you'll get to later. No GIS mapping, no 3D visualization, no bloated laboratory information system — just fast, accurate field data collection and clean report generation, priced fairly for real small and mid-size firms.
