Free HDD bore planning software

BoreSheet is free HDD bore planning software for your phone, tablet, or computer. It helps you plan an HDD bore path — a horizontal directional drilling profile — and hand the inspector a clean one-page PDF. Any rig, any rod. Built by a working driller.

This sheet is a planning aid, not a stamped engineering document. Call 811 and verify every utility before you drill.

What you can do for free

The basic plan is free. You can plan the bore, check clearances and bend radius, import a locator log, keep a rod sheet, and export a one-page inspector PDF with your logo.

Enter the bore length, pit depths, rod and pipe specs, ground shots, and the utilities you already located. BoreSheet figures a rod-by-rod path and warns you about cover, clearance, and pitches that are too sharp.

Who it is for

HDD contractors, foremen, and locators who need a plan for the owner or inspector — on a phone, in the truck, without drafting software. It works with any rig.

What costs money

BoreSheet Pro is a paid upgrade for the as-built packet after the hole is in the ground: as-built PDF, map exports (KML, shapefile, GeoJSON, close-out ZIP), planned vs actual, and edge of pavement offsets. Pro is $29 a month, $290 a year, or $15 for one job.
