The Importance of Weather Monitoring on Construction Sites
By Michael Tobias, Construction Executive
Risk management is so important for project success that the Project Management Body of Knowledge uses an entire chapter to cover the topic. Construction work must often be performed under the influence of external factors, including the weather. Contractors must suspend any activity that cannot be completed safely when weather conditions are unfavorable.
The weather cannot be predicted with 100% accuracy, and conditions can change in seconds. There are also site-specific conditions that create microclimates, such as terrain features and surrounding constructions. Weather risks can only be managed effectively with the direct measurement of meteorological conditions.
