We offer a number of post-project reports that will enable you to refine future procedures or settle contractual disputes.
This summary addresses the New Engineering Contract (NEC) requirement which specifies that claims for contract extensions can only be considered when the weather has been 'exceptionally severe' - worse than might be expected one year out of ten.
Alongside 1-in-10 year values (based on station data 1970-2010) and long term averages (based on station data 1981-2010) there are daily rainfall totals, days with more than 5 mm of rain, minimum air temperature, days with air frost, snow depth and days with snow lying.

This report highlights the elements which exceed an operational threshold, and for how long. The figures provided can then be compared against long-term averages at the same locations. Elements within the report are rain, snow, temperature, mean wind speed, maximum wind gusts and humidity. Long term averages are also included Monday to Friday and Monday to Saturday to aid project planning.
