What is Borehole App?

Borehole App replaces paper and spreadsheet borehole checklists with mobile forms that work offline. Teams run the same checks at every site, with required fields and photo prompts so nothing is skipped. Failed items become corrective actions automatically, and managers see completion and open issues across every site without collecting a single sheet of paper. The checklist builder supports scoring and conditional logic, so the form adapts to each site type.

Borehole App puts the borehole checklist on mobile with required fields and photo prompts on headworks, cover, and security, pump, rising main, and controls, water level, yield, and drawdown, and water quality and sampling, so nothing is skipped. Any failed check, such as contamination at headworks, pump or rising-main faults, and declining yield or drawdown, becomes a tracked corrective action with an owner and a due date, and completion is provable against water abstraction rules and drinking water quality standards rather than assumed.

What to Include in a Borehole App?

A comprehensive borehole inspection covers the key areas that affect operations and compliance. Run borehole apps with structured pre-use questions, evidence capture, and reports. Your inspection should include sections for headworks, cover, and security; pump, rising main, and controls; and water level, yield, and drawdown, evidence capture, pass/fail or scoring criteria, corrective action assignment, and sign-off, so that nothing is missed and every inspection finding is traceable.

How to Use Borehole App

Moving borehole checklists off paper keeps every site consistent. Follow these steps:

  1. Open the digital borehole checklist on a phone or tablet; required fields prevent skipped items.
  2. Work through each check on the borehole, marking pass or fail.
  3. Attach a photo for any of contamination at headworks, pump or rising-main faults, declining yield or drawdown, poor water quality so the finding is evidenced.
  4. Failed items become corrective actions automatically; assign an owner and due date.
  5. Submit. Completion and open issues appear on the dashboard with no paper to collect.

What Does a Borehole Checklist Cover?

A borehole checklist runs the same checks at every site: headworks, cover, and security, pump, rising main, and controls, water level, yield, and drawdown, water quality and sampling, electrical supply and protection, and chlorination and backflow prevention. Required fields and photo prompts stop items being skipped, and a failed check such as contamination at headworks, pump or rising-main faults, and declining yield or drawdown becomes a tracked corrective action, so borehole completion is provable rather than assumed.

What Gets Checked

  • Headworks, cover, and security
  • Pump, rising main, and controls
  • Water level, yield, and drawdown
  • Water quality and sampling
  • Electrical supply and protection
  • Chlorination and backflow prevention

Common Defects It Surfaces

  • Contamination at headworks
  • Pump or rising-main faults
  • Declining yield or drawdown
  • Poor water quality
  • Electrical or backflow faults

Evidence Captured

  • Headworks photo
  • Pump and control photo
  • Water quality reading note

Templates align to water abstraction rules, drinking water quality standards.

What Borehole Teams Fix When Paper Checklists Become One Digital Form

Borehole work breaks down the moment evidence leaves the form. These are the problems Borehole App is built to remove, and what the team gets back when it does.

Borehole App: Paper borehole checklists in three versions, none of them validated

Paper borehole checklists in three versions, none of them validated

Different sites use different versions of the borehole checklist. Items get skipped, boxes are left blank, and no one notices until the data reaches the office, if it reaches the office at all.

Problem

  • Multiple paper versions of the borehole checklist in circulation
  • Borehole items skipped or left blank with no validation
  • No way to confirm a borehole checklist was completed in full

Solution

  • One digital borehole checklist, one current version, every site
  • Required fields and photo prompts stop skipped borehole items
  • Borehole completion visible on the dashboard in real time
Borehole App: The same borehole defect comes back every cycle

The same borehole defect comes back every cycle

Contamination at headworks, pump or rising-main faults, declining yield or drawdown, poor water quality on the borehole are fixed, then reappear weeks later. Each borehole defect is treated as fresh because nobody sees it is the third time this quarter. The borehole root cause is never addressed.

Problem

  • Repeat borehole defects treated as new every time
  • No history tying findings to the same borehole
  • Budget spent re-fixing the same borehole problem

Solution

  • Full defect history per borehole
  • Recurring issue detection flags repeat borehole problems
  • Root-cause borehole work prioritised by evidence
Borehole App: Borehole data is scattered across spreadsheets, photos, and chat

Borehole data is scattered across spreadsheets, photos, and chat

Some borehole records sit in Excel, some in a WhatsApp group, some in a folder of photos. There is no single source of truth for the borehole, so every borehole question takes an hour and three people to answer.

Problem

  • Borehole records split across Excel, chat, and photo folders
  • No single trusted version of the borehole record
  • Answering a simple borehole question takes hours

Solution

  • One system of record for every borehole check and finding
  • Every borehole photo and action tied to its record
  • Search any site or borehole and get an answer instantly

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Borehole App replace paper borehole checklists?

Borehole App moves the borehole checklist onto a phone or tablet as a digital form. Required fields and photo prompts mean items cannot be skipped or left blank, which paper allows freely. One current version is pushed to every site, so the version chaos of three slightly different printed checklists disappears. Failed items become corrective actions automatically, with an owner and a due date, instead of a note that goes nowhere. Managers see completion and open issues across every site on a live dashboard, with no paper to collect and no data to re-key.

How does Borehole App help with compliance and audits?

InspectWrk captures every borehole record with timestamps, photo evidence, and structured fields aligned to water abstraction rules and drinking water quality standards. Each field round produces a digital trail per borehole and per site, so when an auditor or authority asks for proof, your team produces it in seconds rather than days. Templates can be configured for the specific schedule and frequency required at each site, and dashboards surface upcoming statutory due dates and overdue field rounds and equipment checks alongside operational data. The result is a single defensible record per field round, not a folder of photos and a chat thread.

Does Borehole App work offline?

Yes. The Borehole App is offline-first by design. Inspectors download their assigned field rounds and equipment checks before going on site, then complete forms in fields, plant rooms, milking parlours, pack houses, and remote sheds without any network connection. Photos, voice notes, geotags, and form fields all save locally on the device. When the phone or tablet returns to coverage, submissions sync automatically in the background, with no action from the inspector. Sync is incremental and conflict-aware, and each submission shows a clear synced or pending indicator, so nothing is silently lost between the field and the office and large photo sets upload reliably over weak connections. Local validation flags incomplete sections before submission so nothing is missed. This matters in real farm environments where signal drops are routine in the very places that need the most evidence.

What evidence does Borehole App capture?

Every submission carries a timestamp, the inspector's identity, an optional geofenced location, and the full set of answers, photos, and voice notes attached to that field round. Failed borehole items create issues with severity, owner, and verified closure photos. Reports generate automatically as branded PDFs with the site, the borehole, and finding details. Because borehole evidence is captured at the point of work rather than written up afterwards, the chain from finding to verified fix stays intact and is hard to dispute later. When an auditor or client asks for proof of a borehole field round, your team searches by site, asset, or date and produces a complete digital record in seconds. The same evidence supports water abstraction rules and drinking water quality standards documentation requirements where relevant.

How are failed items escalated to irrigation technicians?

Every failed item can spawn a corrective action with a named owner, due date, severity, and photo proof requirement on closure. Irrigation technicians receive notifications, see their open actions in the app, and submit verified closure photos before the action closes. Dashboards show open and overdue actions per site, per contractor, and per audit cycle, so leadership can see whether issues are actually closing or just sitting in a backlog. Contractor performance scoring tracks closure speed and re-open rate over time, so farm managers and agronomists can compare spray contractors and service partners objectively before assigning the next site.

Does Borehole App work across multiple fields, sheds, and pack houses?

Yes. A single InspectWrk instance covers every site in your farm, dairy, and pack house estate. Each field or shed has its own assets, templates, contractors, and field rounds and equipment checks, but the farm manager or operations director sees one live dashboard with completion rates, open issues, and risk score by field, shed, and batch. Configurable dashboards show which sites had problems and which field rounds and equipment checks are overdue, and scheduled reports reach managers before the day starts, replacing the Monday morning task of typing spray-record diaries and welfare logbooks into a buyer or certifier pack. New sites inherit your standard templates the moment they are added, so the farm, dairy, and pack house estate scales without rebuilding the process for each location.

How does AI in Borehole App help inspectors?

For the inspector, AI turns a borehole check into point, speak, and confirm. The camera photo is compared with the template's reference standard and deviations are flagged, voice capture records the observation without typing, and smart suggestions set a first-guess category and severity that the inspector confirms or overrides. Because capture happens at the borehole rather than back at a desk, detail is not lost to memory, and because the fields are consistent, managers can trend the same issue across every site instead of reading a hundred differently worded notes.

Can we customise the borehole checklist for our own sites and process?

Yes. The Borehole App checklist builder lets you add or edit sections, questions, scoring, and required evidence without writing code. You can start from a library template and adapt it, or build the borehole checklist from scratch. Conditional logic shows or hides questions based on earlier answers, so the form stays short and relevant for each site type. Required fields, photo capture points, and digital signatures are all configurable. Different site formats can run different versions, or one base template can be tailored per region. Changes are versioned and roll out to selected sites at once, so every location runs the current standard without re-sending files or retraining staff between updates.
