The ground doesn't care
what you bid.
Drop a pin or draw the bore path. Real driller-reported well logs, karst, wetlands, and utility conflicts — one risk packet you can price from and defend later.
One bad bore costs more than a year of BoreCast.

Why pre-bid
One surprise underground eats the margin on ten good bores.
Rock at 12 ft you bid as sand
Cobble and bedrock that never made it into the bid become your change-order fight. The nearest well log usually knew.
A gas transmission line 40 ft off the path
High-consequence crossings should show up on your screen before bid day, not on the locate ticket the week you mobilize.
The wetland your insurer asks about later
A frac-out next to mapped wetlands turns into a cleanup, a shutdown, and a claims file. Know the exposure before you price it.
How it works
Address in. Risk packet out. Sixty seconds.
These are unretouched screenshots of real queries — actual Wisconsin well logs, an actual gas transmission conflict, actual exports.
- 01
Drop a pin or draw the bore
Click the map, sketch the path, or drag in a KMZ straight from Civil 3D / AutoCAD. No setup, no GIS degree.
- 02
BoreCast fuses the evidence, live
Real driller-reported well logs plus 10+ public datasets — soils, bedrock, karst, wetlands, streams, contamination, transmission utilities — queried on the spot, never pre-baked.
- 03
Walk away with the risk packet
Derived 0-25 ft profile, utility conflicts, rig + tooling recommendations, and exports: PDF, KMZ, Evidence Lock, insurance-ready report.
The data moat
Built on data you'd never assemble alone.
HDD bores run 4 to 25 ft down — below soil surveys, above geotech budgets. That window only exists in real well logs. Every query fuses them with nine more public datasets, live, with every source cited in the response.

Lithology coverage today: 14 US states (CA, CO, FL, IL, KS, MI, MN, MT, NE, OH, OR, TX, VT, WI) + BC, ON, QC. Bedrock covers the continental US. Coverage expands as new state datasets ingest.
We show our work.
Full methodology →100 held-out Wisconsin wells, re-validated June 2026. Predict the lithology from surrounding evidence, then check against what the driller actually logged. Exact-class agreement, 0-25 ft:
The starker gap: soil surveys stop near 6.5 ft, so a SSURGO-only model has no answer at all for 58% of the 0-25 ft window. Fused well-log evidence leaves under 1% unknown.
When we don't know, we say so.
Thin well coverage returns an explicit unknown range with the reason — never a confident-looking guess. Every derived interval carries its supporting well count, distance, and uncertainty, so you know exactly how much to trust it.
Utility screening note: This is a transmission-level screen using public HIFLD data. Distribution lines (local gas, water, sewer) are NOT included. 811 locates remain legally required before any dig.
Beyond the bid
Paper that wins arguments.
The query is the easy part. What you keep is leverage: records for disputes, documentation for carriers, and a tooling plan for the crew.
Win the change-order fight
Evidence Lock
Freeze the subsurface evidence behind your bid as a tamper-evident, SHA-256-hashed PDF, timestamped on every page. When conditions differ from the bid six months later, you hold the record of exactly what was knowable on bid day.
Walk into renewal ready
Insurance Pre-Work Report
A 5-page pre-work compliance report — methodology, findings, utility conflict assessment, attestation — built to match the pre-work diligence language carriers actually use. Documented diligence, on letterhead, in one click.
Brief the crew before mobilization
Rig + tooling recommendation
Each profile comes with bit, reamer, and mud-program guidance matched to the expected ground — cobble bit and extra fluid ports where the logs say cobble, not after the first wasted day on site.
Pricing
One plan. Less than one mobilization.
Everything in the product, one price. If it saves you a single change-order dispute or one dry mobilization a year, it pays for itself many times over.
14-day trial first. Card required, cancel anytime during the trial and pay nothing. Founding accounts keep this rate when public pricing goes up.

Straight answers
Frequently asked
- What is included in Founding Pro?
- Founding Pro includes unlimited point and corridor checks, full PDF and KMZ exports, saved projects and query history, Evidence Lock records, Insurance Pre-Work Compliance Reports, transmission utility screening, and rig, tooling, and mud recommendations.
- Does this replace 811?
- No. BoreCast uses public transmission-level utility data for early risk screening. Local gas, water, sewer, and other distribution assets are not included. 811 locates remain legally required before any dig.
- Does this replace my geotech report?
- No. BoreCast is for bidding and planning before you pay for a formal boring. For permitting, design-load work, sealed drawings, or major crossings, you still want the licensed professional your jurisdiction requires.
- How accurate is it vs a real boring?
- Accuracy depends on well density. In Wisconsin, our highest well-per-square-mile coverage state, fused well + soil data hits 42.1% exact-class agreement at 0-25 ft vs 16.6% for a SSURGO-only baseline - and the SSURGO-only model has no answer at all for 58% of that depth window. We publish our methodology; low-density regions return honest "unknown" ranges instead of confident guesses.
- What states do you cover?
- Lithology extractions across 14 US states (CA, CO, FL, IL, KS, MI, MN, MT, NE, OH, OR, TX, VT, WI) and 3 Canadian provinces (BC, ON, QC). Bedrock rasters cover the continental US. Coverage expands as we ingest new state well-log datasets.
- Can I import a KMZ from Civil 3D or AutoCAD?
- Yes. Drag a KMZ onto the map or use File > Import KMZ. We extract the LineString, buffer it, and query against it like any other corridor.
- How is this different from SubgradeIQ?
- SubgradeIQ resells USDA SSURGO soil data, which caps out at standard soil-survey depths. HDD bores go to 25 feet, and that window only exists in real driller-reported well logs. Full comparison at /compare.
