BoreDoc supports you in professionally documenting drillings and maintaining an overview at all times. From recording the strata to the complete drilling log, BoreDoc bundles all important information in one place. This turns complex data into clear structures that are convincing both in everyday life on the construction site and when working with clients, authorities or partners.
BoreDoc is a cross-platform app for structured drilling documentation. It replaces handwritten forms and reduces errors through guided, structured input. Different project types such as soil sampling, exploratory drilling or well construction are supported - including the simple creation of layer directories, drilling profiles and other documents.
In contrast to traditional applications, BoreDoc works flexibly as an app and web application. Multiple users can work with the current database at the same time - regardless of end device or operating system. Integrated multilingualism makes collaboration even easier: if an English-speaking user enters "Clay", a German-speaking user automatically sees "Ton". Language settings in the user interface and in the documents can be freely selected.
BoreDoc thus optimises teamwork - in a structured, efficient and even cross-language manner. Whether for engineering offices, construction companies or experts: BoreDoc makes drilling documentation efficient, transparent and reliable.
... The first step should be to register or transfer an existing registration. This is essential for creating documents.
Completed templates for contractors and technicians speed up the entry of repetitive information in the input process. If the templates are not filled in, a message is displayed on the start screen.
A drilling site includes master data, such as client and contractor, as well as several boreholes.
The context menu (sandwich icon top right) for the drilling site is also located here.
A borehole includes the usual data, such as name/designation, geo-coordinates, drilling protocol (execution period, technician, drilling sections, equipment used).
In addition, the borehole can be labelled with information on the soil layers, soil samples, water levels, backfilling and the development. Not all information is mandatory.
The context menu for the drilling site contains various functions, such as validating the entered data and triggering document generation.
In the first step of validation, the documents to be generated are selected. These include the following: Stratigraphic log, drilling profile, drilling log, sampling log, geological section and others.
The validation result distinguishes between errors, warnings and valid. Warnings can be understood as hints. For example, it is not possible to create the extension of the borehole in the drilling profile if no information on the backfill has been provided.

By requesting a document, the data from the drilling site is sent to the server and the documents are generated there. Depending on the connection speed, the process takes 5 to 20 seconds.
The documentation generated for the drilling site is transferred to your device as a PDF. You need a corresponding display programme to display the document.
You can currently use BoreDoc completely free of charge. Our current focus is on further developing the functions together with our users and optimising them for practical use. A binding pricing model will be introduced at a later date. Until then, you can benefit from all the advantages without restrictions and without hidden costs.
A stratigraphic log is used to systematically document geological observations during a borehole. It forms the basis for understanding the subsoil and describes which layers of earth and rock occur in which order. The aim is to create a comprehensible representation of the subsoil or geological profile, which is important for planning, construction and scientific evaluation. Both technical and geoscientific questions can be answered reliably thanks to the structured recording.
All soil types and rock layers encountered are described in detail in the layer catalogue. This includes colour, grain size, consistency, moisture or strength as well as special features such as organic inclusions or degrees of weathering. The depth information that characterises the beginning and end of the respective layer is also noted. This information enables the geological situation to be precisely assigned to the drilling depths. In this way, a continuous record is created that can later be understood by third parties without knowledge of the borehole.
A carefully compiled strata catalogue is indispensable for construction projects in which soil conditions play a central role. Engineers and geologists use it to make decisions on foundations, waterproofing or the use of materials. In addition, it has an important function in environmental investigations, as pollutant displacements or groundwater flow directions can be better assessed. It is also a valuable tool in scientific research, for example in the reconstruction of geological time periods.
The stratigraphic log thus fulfils the task of depicting complex geological relationships in a clear and standardised way. It is not only a technical document, but also a means of visualising the subsurface in a transparent and comprehensible manner. Its quality is decisive for the informative value of all further analyses based on this data.
The preparation of strata catalogues is regulated in various standards in order to ensure uniformity and comparability. DIN 4022 (soil and rock characterisation), which ensures a systematic description of strata, provides essential specifications. DIN 4023 (drilling profile) also applies, as the strata catalogue and drilling profile are closely linked in terms of content. ISO 14688, which standardises the naming and classification of soils, is also important at international level. These standards form the basis for professional and standardised documentation.

A borehole profile is the graphic realisation of the sequence of layers recorded during a borehole. It supplements the textual documentation with a clear visualisation that makes the subsurface visible in its vertical structure. This makes it possible to recognise at a glance which layers occur in which order, how thick they are and at what depth they lie. The aim is to make geological information clearly and directly accessible.
The representation is usually a vertical section in which each layer is clearly identified by symbols, hatching or colours. Depth information at the layer boundaries enables the exact location in the subsurface to be assigned. This creates a visual overview that allows quick orientation, independent of extensive texts. The drilling profile thus becomes an indispensable tool for geological documentation.
In practice, the drilling profile supports engineers, geologists and experts in evaluating the subsoil. It provides information on the load-bearing capacity, groundwater conditions or special risks and facilitates the selection of suitable construction methods. It is also an easy-to-understand basis for clients or authorities to make comprehensible decisions. It thus combines technical precision with a high degree of clarity.
The drilling profile also plays an important role in research. It allows conclusions to be drawn about the formation history of a region, documents geological processes and creates comparability between different locations. In environmental and hydrogeology in particular, it provides crucial information about the layer structure and possible water pathways. The drilling profile thus adds scientific value to its purely technical use.
The creation of drilling profiles is subject to established norms and standards in order to ensure uniformity and comparability. In particular, DIN 4023 (drilling profile), which regulates the graphical representation, and DIN 4022 (soil and rock characterisation) for the uniform description of layers. In addition, international standards such as ISO 14688 are used to name and classify soils. These standards ensure that drilling profiles can be understood in the same way regardless of location and time.

A drilling log is a technical document that records the entire drilling process in a comprehensible manner. It forms the basis for documenting geological observations as well as organisational and technical conditions. In this way, a complete picture of the drilling is created, which is indispensable for evaluation, planning and verification. The aim of the drilling log is to ensure transparency and traceability throughout the entire process.
The contents of a drilling log are wide-ranging. In addition to the equipment and methods used, the start and end of drilling and the depth reached are documented. The drilling progress, special technical features, flushing fluids or aids used and any faults that occur are also recorded. This comprehensive collection of information allows the working conditions and results to be reconstructed exactly.
In practice, the drilling log serves a variety of purposes. It provides an important basis for clients and engineers to make decisions about construction methods, safety measures and costs. At the same time, it serves as legal proof that the work has been carried out properly. Authorities can use the log to check compliance with regulations, while experts use it to back up their assessments.
In addition, the drilling log also provides valuable services in research. It not only documents the results, but also the circumstances under which they were obtained, which is crucial for the comparability and reproducibility of data. It therefore helps to make geological investigations permanently verifiable and scientifically usable. It unfolds its full value especially in combination with the stratigraphic log and drilling profile.
Standards are used to standardise the content and format of drilling logs. DIN 4021,, which regulates the documentation of drillings and the structure of the logs, should be emphasised. It is supplemented by DIN 4022, which specifies a systematic description of soil and rock types. ISO 22475, which defines standards for geotechnical exploration, sampling and groundwater measurements, is of international importance. These standards ensure that drilling logs remain standardised, comparable and technically reliable.
