Constructing a linear project such as a road, highway, or bridge involves several major components. Firstly, the planning and design phase encompasses feasibility studies, environmental impact assessments, and detailed engineering designs to ensure the project's viability and sustainability. This is followed by the land acquisition process, where necessary rights-of-way are secured. Once the groundwork is prepared, site clearing and earthworks begin to shape the terrain as per project specifications. Subsequent stages include subgrade preparation, drainage installation, and laying down the pavement layers (base, subbase, and wearing course) for roads and highways. For bridges, additional components involve foundational works (like pilings or abutments), constructing the superstructure (deck, girders, and trusses), and ensuring structural safety through reinforcements and load testing.

For road or highway construction, there are several industry-recognized software solutions that professionals utilize for various stages of the project, from planning and design to construction management.

When it comes to the optimization of construction planning and scheduling, risk modeling, or accelerating project delivery, ALICE is the ultimate solution for heavy civil contractors. ALICE helps heavy civil contractors resolve issues like:

• Access point constraints
• Easements
• Construction logic and sequencing
• Maintenance of Traffic (MOT Planning)
• Resource estimation
• Supply chain mapping
• Engineering/Design mapping
