Construction
Demonstrate time lost to weather and plan ahead with accurate rain and wind forecasts.
Weather often impacts construction activities, including interruptions to concrete pours due to rain or halting of crane operations under strong winds. Insurance claims also need to be backed up with weather data and expert reports from MetraWeather.
MetraWeather provides a range of services to support the Construction industry, including accurate site-specific weather forecasts to improve planning, lightning proximity alerts for worker safety and post-event reports to justify time lost to weather or insurance claims.
Threat Matrix 10-Day Forecast for Operational Planning
MetraWeather's Threat Matrix 10-day Forecast operational planning tool is customisable to highlight key weather threats to your construction project. Whether this be strong winds, heavy rain, high temperatures or lightning. The schedule works around favourable weather windows and take the guess work out of planning with an easy-to-follow traffic light display (green/amber/red) of weather threats.
Lightning Proximity Alerts
Lightning poses a serious threat to outdoor workers, and is often a signal that servere weather is on the way. MetraWeather's accurate lightning proximity alerts keep your workers safe, whilst also minimisng downtime by telling you in a timely manner when a threat has passed.
Post Event Reports and Historical Data
As a contractor or subcontractor, often disputes will arise with other stakeholders and insurance companies on time lost to weather, or weather-related damage. MetraWeather's experienced, WMO-Qualified meteorologists can compile detailed reports, supported by historical data, so that you can demonstrate your position and recoup costs incurred.
"I can't speak highly enough of Metraweather, as they are a highly professional and skilled organisation. I had an urgent request for guidance on a large insurance claim dispute, which was related to severe weather.
As the business owner, I was provided with a professional and objective severe weather report, which ultimately supported our commercial position. Every step of the way I felt comfortable dealing with Metraweather, and I highly recommend their service."
