Overview

Rönesans Holding is one of the largest construction and infrastructure companies in Europe and the Middle East, operating dozens of simultaneous mega-projects across varying climate zones. With outdoor activities vulnerable to sudden weather shifts, minimizing delays and ensuring site safety has become a core operational challenge.

Challenge

For large-scale construction projects, weather delays translate directly into financial losses and safety risks. Rönesans faced key difficulties such as:

• Short-notice storm activity disrupting crane ops and concrete pouring

• Lack of site-specific forecasting for remote or high-altitude locations

• Missed opportunities for schedule optimization during weather windows

• Safety hazards caused by wind gusts, lightning, and extreme heat

Traditional weather apps couldn’t provide the granular, operationally-relevant data needed at each construction zone.

How Data-Driven Weather Intelligence Supports Construction

1. Asset-Level Weather Risk Dashboards
Each construction site receives a dedicated forecast layer, tracking temperature, wind, lightning, and rain accumulation in real time. WeatherX dashboards are tailored per project phase (foundation, structure, façade, etc.).

2. Alerting for Operational Thresholds
Custom alerts are configured for crane wind limits, lightning proximity zones, and heat exposure—delivered via mobile and platform notifications to site managers, shift leaders, and HSE units.

3. Dynamic Forecast Windows for Scheduling
WeatherX highlights low-risk operational windows within the next 5 days—allowing better planning of concrete works, façade lifting, and heavy equipment usage.

4. Incident Tagging & Retrospective Analysis
Events such as on-site halts or safety evacuations are tagged and overlaid with weather timelines—creating a retrospective evidence base for insurance or project accountability.

Operational Impact

After integrating WeatherX:

• Weather-induced delays decreased by 30% on average across sites

• Project managers optimized daily planning with hourly precision forecasts

• Lightning alerts led to zero incidents during summer storm season

• Data from past disruptions helped improve contractual documentation and claim accuracy

Looking Ahead

Rönesans is now exploring full integration of WeatherX within its BIM and project management platforms, aiming to evolve from passive monitoring to weather-informed decision automation—making construction safer, faster, and smarter.
