A Model for Scheduling and Analyzing Construction Weather Delays.
Abstract
This report presents a deterministic model for incorporating contingency time into a construction schedule for anticipated weather delays. The preliminary steps of organizing historical weather data, establishing weather sensitivity factors for activities, and preparing an 'ideal-weather' schedule are detailed prior to introducing the scheduling model. Algorithm steps for incorporating weather delay are explained in detail. To clarify understanding of the algorithm steps, an example is provided that demonstrated the weather scheduling model. A method is also presented for analyzing weather delays effecting ongoing or completed construction contracts. Another sample project is used to demonstrate assessment of weather delay impacts.
