“SITE-SPECIFIC” AND “EQUIPMENT-SPECIFIC” WEATHER FORECASTS FOR CONSTRUCTION

High winds and extreme weather can be very

disruptive to construction sites and pose a

serious hazard to construction workers and thepublic. RWDI’s WINDSTORMalert prediction

technology is the most advanced extreme

weather warning system that provides

calibrated “site specific” and “equipment

specific” wind gusts and weather forecasts.

This technology is custom designed for the

needs of the construction industry and has

been proven to help keep crews safe and

construction equipment secure.

WINDSTORMalert….

Benefits:

• Improved safety - construction site crews and

equipment.

• Improved productivity - factoring weather

information into daily job-site scheduling.

• Reduced liability for construction site managers -

reports are kept of each weather forecast, alert

and the recipients.

• Reduced risk of unsecured materials being blown

from structures.

• Reduced risk of tragedy arising from unexpected

wind gusts during lift operations.

• Reduced risk of fatigue or failures of cranes,

scissor lifts and other lifting equipment.

• Reduced risk of catastrophic wind action on swing-

stages or scaffolding.

• Reduced claims – potential for less claims.

Key Features:

• High resolution “site-specific” and “equipment-

specific” weather forecasts - accounts for influence

of neighboring buildings and local terrain for wind

gusts at construction site, provided at grade, and

specific structure elevations.

• Wind gusts, precipitation, and temperature

prediction - 48hrs in advance, every 3-hours.

• Lightning prediction and detection - 30 mile radius.

• Forecasts - email or SMS at pre-defined time

intervals.

• Weather alerts - define custom thresholds for wind

speed, precipitation, temperature, forecast delivery

methods and alert frequency,

• Developed, monitored and supported by the

scientists and meteorologists of RWDI – world

renowned wind engineering experts.
