For road and highway contractors

From the tender pack to approved layers.

Road projects are won on documents and paid on records. Fennec reads the tender and cites every requirement. Chainage keeps the inspection record on site and turns it into a live map of the road.

Illustrative Chainage road boardFour pavement layers on each side of a 400 metre stretch from chainage 120+000 to 120+400. Earthwork is approved furthest along, each higher layer trails the one below, and a short stretch of dry lean concrete is marked rejected.PQCDLCGSBEWEWGSBDLCPQC120+000120+100120+200120+300120+400

Where it matters

Where the paperwork decides the margin

At the bid
Requirements are spread across volumes and addenda. A missed clause on eligibility, bid security or liquidated damages costs more than the hours it would have taken to find it.
On site
Inspection requests, lab results and approvals live in different places. A layer laid over unapproved ground is found late, and the rework is expensive.
At handover and audit
Proving which stretch was tested, against which limit, and who approved it means reassembling registers after the fact. In Chainage, the record builds itself as the work is approved.

Across the project

One contractor, two products, four stages

  1. Tender

    Load the tender volumes, specifications and schedules into Fennec. Ask about eligibility, securities, penalties and scope, and extract a register in which each line cites its clause.
  2. Mobilization

    Set up the project in Chainage: the alignment, the pavement layers on each side, structures and drains, and a test catalogue built from the contract's frequency plan and acceptance limits.
  3. Construction

    Engineers raise inspection requests by chainage and layer, record the tests, and approvers decide. Chainage refuses to raise a layer over ground that is not ready for it.
  4. Records

    The road board shows the status of every stretch. Reports export to CSV or Excel, and append-only logs keep the history of every inspection.

Questions

Road contractor FAQ

Does Chainage follow our contract's specification?

Yes. The test catalogue holds each test, its frequency and its acceptance criteria as your contract's specification writes them, and results are judged against that text rather than a built-in standard.

Can one team use Fennec at the bid and Chainage on site?

Yes, and they are separate products, so you can start with either. Start with whichever problem is closer to its deadline.

Can we report progress to the client from Chainage?

Reports cover inspections and tests across projects, can be saved, and export to CSV or Excel. The road board itself shows which stretches of each layer are approved, awaiting approval or rejected.
