Helping settle contractual claims
The NEC states that extension to contract claims can only be granted
if the weather has been exceptionally severe. The weather must have
been worse than could have been expected one year out of ten (this is calculated using a thirty-year time period from 1961-1990), in terms
of:
- Monthly rainfall total
- Number of days with rainfall greater than 5 mm
- Number of days with an air frost
- Number of days with snow lying at 0900 UTC
The NEC Monthly Summary helps you to settle claims quickly and efficiently
and provides the following information.
- A comparison of weather experienced during the month with the
1-in-10-year return-period values of the month (these 1-in-10-year values are averages based on the period 1961-1990)
- Summaries for 150 locations in the UK
- The monthly weather information required by users of the Institution
of Civil Engineers New Engineering Contract (NEC)
