Construction and management of infrastructures operations can be tough work which requires previous knowledge and understanding of the weather conditions on-site. Unmeasured environmental conditions can result in various inconveniences in construction. It is crucial to track wind conditions such as wind speed and direction since one can optimize productivity on operations as well as detect the possible failures that weather could cause to be able to prevent irreparable damages and unnecessary costs.

The wind meters from Calypso Instruments provide a perfect solution for construction services, measuring wind conditions at real time. Our Ultrasonic Portable wind sensor gives accurate and reliable data about the wind speed and direction and can be connected to any mobile device via bluetooth. You can also connect your Ultra Low Power wired range to a datalogger and display or send information to the cloud. Its robustness and improved rain performance design makes it a great device to withstand extreme weather conditions.  
 

TUNNELS
Security is crucial on the inside of tunnels as they are counted on for an evacuation plan in case of accidents or fires. To ensure safety, it is necessary to measure wind conditions and other environmental factors that can affect those accidents. 

ROADS AND BRIDGES
Large structures such as bridges are painted with protecting coatings in order to maintain the structure and prevent corrosion. Environmental conditions play an important role, making it critical to measure and track wind speed and direction as well as temperature, and precipitation.

BUILDINGS AND TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTIONS
With the construction of buildings, the pouring and placement of concrete also need to be measured given that it needs to dry in a particular way. Measuring wind in this case is important to avoid premature drying of the concrete which can be less effective.

Temporary constructions are used in events, celebrations, and amusements parks. On special events, it is important to measure and track weather conditions in order to ensure a safe environment and correct management of the event. Wind speed and direction are crucial in these kind of constructions, as it can affect the stability of the construction. The higher the wind, the more dangerous it becomes to place a temporary construction.

MOBILE CRANES
Cranes are heavy structures that can be dangerous if there is an accident. Wind and other environmental conditions can affect the functioning of cranes and elevators. Unmeasured strong winds can cause crane accidents, resulting in irreparable damages on buildings or workers and huge economical losses.

It is highly important to measure wind speed and direction on construction sites where there are cranes and elevators to avoid any possible accidents related to heavy winds.
