A decision guide for Geotechnical Engineer
Practical AI and automation workflows for Geotechnical Engineers
Pick the geotechnical engineer task in front of you. Each workflow is labeled by what actually does the work: an AI agent, AI assisting you, or conventional software.

Start here
Start with the task that costs you the most time each week, and try it on a small, non-confidential sample first.
Which workflow fits?
Turn PDF or scanned borehole logs into a reviewable spreadsheet
Upload a borehole log PDF to Claude or ChatGPT, have it extract depths, strata descriptions, SPT or RQD values and groundwater notes into a fixed column layout, then spot-check every row against the PDF before you import anything into gINT, OpenGround or your own workbook.
AI assists Handwritten and poor scans fail often. Every depth and test value needs a person with the PDF open; this does not replace the geotechnical engineer of record.

Get ready once
- Tool access and a confirmed license.
- A sample project file you are allowed to share.
- A reviewer for anything that leaves your desk.
Know when to stop
- Stop if inputs, units or code editions are unclear.
- AI output and clean software reports do not establish adequacy; the professional of record is responsible.
A practical sequence
- Pick one workflow.
- Run it on a sample.
- Check the result against the source.
- Adopt it on a live project with review.
