Construction Projects

By planning around the weather, teams can shift staffing and crews quickly to maximize operational efficiency and keep project timelines on track, while also assuring employee safety.

Inclement weather delays 45% of all construction projects across the globe, costing stakeholders, contractors, and owners billions of dollars a year.

Preheat Bricks: Low Temp

Low temperatures slow down cement hydration. It is recommended to preheat bricks so that they have the same absorption as those laid during normal temperatures.

Postpone Concrete Pour: Rain

Ideally delay the pour for dry weather. If necessary cover fresh concrete with polyethylene sheeting or burlap and stretch it over the entire area of pour. Rain falling on top of freshly laid concrete can damage the surface and compromise a level and floated finish.
