Clients who trust us:
Equipping a civil engineering firm to manage operational risk during highway construction
Road construction often passes through drought-prone regions with variable soil stability. Weather and climate can interact to turn risks into realities.
Real-time weather alerts
Wind warnings support site managers to deploy temporary dust suppression measures to protect worker health during earth works. Rain alerts allow pre-emptive deployment of erosion control measures and water quality monitoring pre- and post-storm.
Climate risks are operational risks
Relevant alerts allow infrastructure clients to optimise maintenance timing and resource use, proactively manage compliance risks and reduce operational costs.
