Copy and delete a borehole

Copy a borehole

Press Copy at the top of the borehole. The app makes a new borehole in the same project. It has the same hole details and the same layers and soil descriptions. It shows "Borehole copied". DCP readings, samples and strengths are not copied. Changing the copy never changes the original.

Use a copy when two holes are close together and have almost the same ground.

Delete a borehole

Press Delete borehole at the top of the borehole. The app says: "The borehole and everything logged in it will be deleted. This cannot be undone."

You can delete only while your role and the project step allow field changes. After a handover to testing a driller cannot delete. After sign-off nobody can.

After a delete

Open the project again. The other holes move up one number, because the number is the position in the project. Sample numbers do not change. See Samples and sample numbers.

A borehole that is not found

If you open a link to a hole that was deleted, the screen says: "That borehole is not in this project. It may have been deleted."
