The Ultimate Trust Engine for Your Project Data
Say goodbye to doubts and disputes with RDrive Proof of Work – our blockchain-powered technology that locks tamper-proof audit trails in place forever. Every status change and update is securely recorded, hashed, and stored with its supporting documentation, creating a permanent, verifiable record of project activity.
Permanent Proof for Every Project Action
You already trust RDrive’s audit trails – now imagine them supercharged with unbreakable security. It’s peace of mind, transparency, and compliance rolled into one powerful solution.
Tamper-Proof Records
Blockchain-backed hashing ensures your audit trails can never be altered or disputed.
Secure Storage
All documents, certificates, and hashes are safely stored in your chosen repository or Azure Blob Storage.
Seamless Integration
Works effortlessly with your existing RDrive processes and document management systems.
Compliance Confidence
Provides the highest level of data integrity to meet regulatory and contractual requirements.
Built for Construction
Designed specifically to support the demanding audit needs of complex field operations.
How It Works
As your site processes and issues update, RDrive Proof of Work hashes each status change and securely stores the hash alongside a PDF snapshot and certificate in your document repository or Azure Blob Storage. This blockchain-backed record ensures every change is permanent and verifiable – impossible to alter without detection. Integrated seamlessly with RDrive’s existing audit trail, Proof of Work gives you an unbreakable chain of trust across your entire project.
Why It Matters
The reality is that many construction projects end up in arbitration or legal disputes. RDrive Proof of Work provides your first line of defence – creating irrefutable, tamper-proof evidence of every site activity and decision. When data integrity matters most, this blockchain-backed audit trail can save you time, money, and stress by clearly proving what happened – and when.
Legacy and Data Retention
With RDrive Proof of Work, your data isn’t locked away. Storing audit records and certificates in Azure Blob Storage or offering secure downloads means you can retain complete, tamper-proof project documentation long after your RDrive project concludes. This ensures you have reliable, accessible evidence for future audits, claims, or reference – whenever you need it.
Best Practices for Data Retention - Delivered by RDrive Proof of Work
RDrive Proof of Work helps you follow best practices for data retention by securely storing tamper-proof records in scalable platforms like Azure Blob Storage, ensuring your project data remains safe and accessible long after completion. It guarantees data integrity through blockchain-backed verification, supports easy document retrieval with organised storage, and aligns with legal and contractual requirements – giving you peace of mind that your critical project evidence is preserved and ready whenever you need it.
FAQs
What is RDrive Proof of Work?
RDrive Proof of Work creates a tamper-evident copy of selected project records at key workflow stages.
It captures the record, including the associated form data and PDF output, then generates a cryptographic hash that can be verified using blockchain technology.
This provides an independent way to prove whether a protected record has been changed after it was captured, supporting projects where evidential integrity, claims protection or legal defensibility are important.
How does RDrive Proof of Work create verifiable project evidence?
RDrive Proof of Work captures selected project records at defined workflow stages, such as submission, approval, rejection or close-out.
At that point, it takes a copy of the relevant data, including the PDF version of the form, and generates a cryptographic hash. A certificate is then produced alongside the PDF and supporting evidence.
These files are packaged into a ZIP file and stored in the document repository within RDrive. If the record is ever challenged later, the certificate and hash can be used to verify whether the data still matches the original captured version or whether it has been changed.
What project records can be protected with RDrive Proof of Work?
RDrive Proof of Work can be applied to selected records at specific workflow stages where evidential integrity is important.
This could include inspections, approvals, quality records, testing and commissioning forms, handover records, commercial submissions, claims-related forms or other project workflows where a verified record may be needed later.
For each protected record, RDrive can capture the form data, PDF output, certificate and supporting evidence, then store them together in the RDrive document repository.
How does blockchain hashing help prove whether data has been changed?
RDrive Proof of Work creates a cryptographic hash of the selected project record at the point it is captured. This hash is a unique digital fingerprint of the data, PDF and supporting evidence at that exact workflow stage.
The hash is then recorded using blockchain technology, creating an independently verifiable reference point.
If the record is reviewed later, a new hash can be generated and compared with the original. If the hashes match, the record has not changed. If they do not match, it shows the data or evidence has been altered since the original capture.
When should a construction project use RDrive Proof of Work?
RDrive Proof of Work is most valuable on projects where evidence may need to be independently verified later.
This can include high-value projects, complex contracts, dispute-prone environments, regulated works, critical approvals, claims-sensitive workflows or projects where the client requires additional assurance around record integrity.
It does not need to be applied to every workflow. Instead, teams can select the key stages and records where protecting the evidential value of the data is commercially, contractually or legally important
How can RDrive Proof of Work support disputes, claims and legal evidence?
RDrive Proof of Work helps protect the evidential value of key project records by proving what was captured, when it was captured and whether it has changed since.
If a dispute, claim or legal challenge arises, teams can refer to the protected PDF, certificate, supporting evidence and blockchain-verified hash stored in the RDrive document repository.
This provides a clear, independently verifiable record that can help establish facts, reduce uncertainty and support a stronger evidence position where project data is challenged.
