The Storm That Didn't
Derail the Schedule
When Hurricane Elena shut down Coastal Development Partners' $32M waterfront project for 5 days, POD's weather KPIs turned panic into a plan. They recovered in 18 days and finished just 2 days behind schedule.
The Storm Hits
Hurricane Elena made landfall on Day 8, forcing a complete site shutdown for 5 consecutive workdays. POD's Weather Impact Calendar tracked every lost and partial day in real time so the team knew exactly where they stood when skies cleared.
30-Day Weather Impact Calendar
The Recovery
Within 48 hours of storm clearance, the team used POD's earned schedule data to resequence 23 activities, add a weekend shift, and fast-track two critical-path pours. The S-curve tells the story: actual progress accelerated past the original pace to close the gap.
Planned vs. Actual Progress (S-Curve)
The shaded red zone shows lost progress during the hurricane. The green zone shows accelerated recovery. By Day 25, the actual curve nearly rejoined the planned curve.
Measuring Recovery
POD's Weather Recovery Rate KPI quantifies how effectively your project bounces back from weather delays. A 94% rate means the team recovered nearly all lost ground, a result only possible with real-time data driving every replanning decision.
Weather Recovery Rate
94% recovery rate means only 2 of 5 lost days remained unrecovered. POD's weather KPIs enabled replanning within 48 hours of storm clearance.
Back on Track
The final numbers speak for themselves. Comparing key schedule metrics before the storm and after recovery shows the project returned to near-baseline performance, with SPI at 0.95 and only a 2-day variance against the original plan.
Earned Schedule: Before Storm vs. After Recovery
Without POD, industry average recovery from a 5-day hurricane shutdown is 15-20 days of schedule slip. Coastal Development Partners held it to 2 days.
How POD Weather Intelligence Works
Track Every Impact
POD logs weather conditions daily and auto-tags affected activities, lost hours, and displaced crews. The Weather Impact Calendar shows exactly which days were lost, partial, or productive.
Replan with Data
When the storm clears, POD provides earned schedule analysis, critical path exposure, and resource availability so your team can resequence activities and optimize recovery within hours.
Measure Recovery
The Weather Recovery Rate KPI tracks daily progress against the recovery plan. S-curve overlays show planned vs. actual in real time so you know exactly when the gap will close.
Weather KPIs That Made the Difference
