“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.

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.
