LQM wins Innovate UK AI grant to unearth Buried Treasure

Innovate UK have awarded LQM a grant to develop an AI project to extract data from borehole logs and certificates of analysis.  This is part of the AI for construction program.  The project began in April 2024, but we are only now able to announce this as it was under embargo until after the election.

Too often geoenvironmental information is shared as PDFs even if it exists as data somewhere.  What is needed is an easy way for everyone in the project chain to easily access data which they can then use in their specialist tools for their particular purpose.  That could be for additional site investigation, remediation design, peer review, legal or insurance.

LQM's Buried Treasure project is developing methods to use AI to turn PDFs into data in both Excel and AGS formats.
