Built for roads and highways,chainage by chainage.

Progress by chainage and layer, bitumen and aggregate per tonne laid, plant on every section — and a warning before the bitumen runs out.

Chainage progress

Progress by chainage,not by guesswork.

Section engineers log each layer by chainage — KP 4+200 → KP 4+450, wearing course. SPADE draws the section and shows what is done, in progress and blocked.

  • Ranges checked against the section
  • Overlaps rejected before they reach the ledger
  • Gaps and blocked sections visible at a glance

Layers, tonnes & sections

The units road crewsactually count.

  • P/1

    Sections as sites

    Each section or lot is a linear site with its own chainage, crew, stores and plant — rolled up to the project.

  • P/2

    Cubic metres, tonnes and metres

    Earthworks in m³, base in m³, asphalt in tonnes, drains in metres — each layer in the unit the crew counts.

  • P/3

    Norms per tonne and per metre

    Bitumen per tonne of asphalt, aggregate per m³ of base and cement per m³ of concrete drive run-out and material-to-complete.

Worked example

When does the bitumenrun out?

A generic 18 km section, worked the way SPADE works it — every number traceable to approved logs.

  1. 1

    Rate

    7.4 km of wearing course in 31 working days — about 240 m per day.

  2. 2

    Remaining

    10.6 km left of 18 km — about 44 working days at that rate.

  3. 3

    Stock

    Bitumen on hand covers about 26 days at the weighted daily use.

  4. 4

    Lead time

    21-day import lead time: flagged today, with the tonnes to finish.

Plant on sections

Service beforeit breaks.

Meter and fuel logs predict the next service by real usage — hours or calendar, whichever comes first.

  • Pavers, rollers, graders and tippers per section
  • Fuel per engine hour, faults and work orders
  • 250 h plans for plant, 10,000 km plans for tippers

Whichever comes first → service due in likely 6–9 days

Roads & civil works template

What’s in the template.

Start from the template, then change what is different — with the same admin tools every customer gets.

  • Work items

    • Clearing, earthworks, sub-base and base
    • Prime, binder and wearing course, drains, culverts
    • Planned rates and quantities per section

  • Norms & units

    • Bitumen, aggregate and cement norms per tonne and m³
    • m, km, m², m³, tonnes, bags and litres
    • KP chainage format, carriageway and layer

  • Daily log & lists

    • Road daily-log layout
    • Delay causes: rain, bitumen stock-out, quarry, right of way
    • Weather, crew and HSE sections

  • Plant & maintenance

    • Pavers, rollers, graders, tippers, bitumen distributors
    • 250 h / 500 h / 1,000 h nested service plans
    • Fuel and meter logging per machine
