There are also weather-related risks that have a higher probability during a certain season of the year. They depend on external conditions rather than on the nature of the project itself. Of course, there are cases where a task-specific risk is compounded by environmental conditions, and extra caution is needed – crane and plant operation during windy seasons is a prime example of this.
The weather is impossible to predict with full certainty. But it can be monitored in real time across many sites with a high degree of precision, and that is precisely the value proposition of WINDCRANE.
The combination of these two factors creates a challenge: ensuring construction site safety in working conditions at the project site without compromising deadlines.
This becomes even more complicated during the autumn and winter months since there are more days with harsh weather.
Project managers and site staff can take better decisions if construction sites are equipped with a wind monitoring solution. A solution that offers a reliable snapshot of weather conditions in real time, while providing mobile access and sending automatic alarms whenever dangerous weather conditions are detected.
WINDCRANE is built upon the technical know-how of Logic Energy. A company with a decade of experience providing monitoring solutions for various applications such as energy efficiency, renewable energy, education and scientific research. Our technology is precise and sophisticated. But also extremely tough – thanks to its IP67 enclosure. The WINDCRANE kit is dust-tight and waterproof, capable of withstanding directed jets of water and even brief immersion with no damage.
With its rugged construction, WINDCRANE can be installed directly on project sites. The unit gives you the peace of mind that it will not be damaged by weather. It can be powered with an AC connection, or with a solar panel if the site is inaccessible for the main power supply.
Even in the extremely rare event that a WINDCRANE unit is damaged beyond repair, data is kept safe. Each unit comes with GSM connection to continuously backup data at a cloud-based server. This also makes it accessible to the end user at any time as long as an Internet connection is available. The cloud-stored data can also be used by a contractor to justify missed deadlines due to weather, avoiding conflict and fines.
