How Construction Teams Use It

Documenting Rain Delays

Extension-of-time and standdown records need more than a diary note. Nearby gauge records with downloads, plus the radar archive, give you a dated, independent record of the rain that stopped work.

Planning Weather-Sensitive Work

Concrete pours, crane lifts and earthworks all turn on the next few hours of weather. The live map animates radar at 5-minute intervals, backed by the latest BoM forecasts.

Sites Without a Gauge Nearby

When the nearest gauge is kilometres away and the number matters, our rainfall estimation service produces a gauge-corrected estimate for the site itself from the radar record.

Wind on Site

Station observations give recent and historical wind speed and direction near the site, in km/h or knots, useful for craneage and working-at-heights records.
