Over two weekends in May and June 2025, 1DegreeOutside, Inc., was proud to support the demolition and reconstruction of two bridges along the Massachusetts Turnpike at the Newton/Weston line – a massive infrastructure collaboration by SPS Construction, Walsh Construction and MassDOT.
🚧 Why a Meteorologist for Construction?
It’s not yet common – but it should be. Precision forecasting saves serious money and risk on high-stakes jobs.
Our support for this project included:
Advance outlooks, days in advance, for weather window highlights, selection and planning with precision
Real-time alerts, as needed, during construction ops
Hyper-local precision – customized to the exact bridge site, not just a zip code or city
Clear impact framing – letting project leads focus on critical go/no-go decisions
💡 The result?
Zero weather surprises. Fewer unnecessary work stoppages. No unexpected rain or wind.
📉 Our clients self-report an average of 41% savings on labor costs after switching to our services. That includes firms that previously paid for other forecast solutions.
Think of the impact: fewer compromised timelines, better staffing decisions, reduced material losses, and stronger ROI on every dollar spent.
We’re especially grateful to SPS Construction, whose forward-thinking leadership brought us aboard.
If you’re in construction, public works, civil engineering or logistics and haven’t yet explored high-accuracy, partner-style weather forecasting – let’s talk. It might just be the smartest budget move you make this year.
