Hydrological forecasts for civil engineering companies

BWI’s hydrological forecasts provide civil engineering companies with a clear and forward-looking view of river behavior. The flow forecasts delivered by BWI make it possible to plan construction works along rivers while taking into account the risks of flooding, high water, or drought, thereby reducing uncertainties and costs related to interruptions. By integrating this reliable data into their studies and operational management, players in the construction and civil engineering sector working in hydraulic environments can secure their projects, optimize their technical and strategic decisions, and contribute to worker safety on construction sites.

Hydrological forecasts are essential for civil engineering companies

Organize construction sites safely

Hydrological forecasts make it possible to anticipate future river conditions, reducing risks related to floods or droughts. They provide construction site stakeholders with a safer framework to organize the interventions of their subcontractors.

Reduce construction site interruptions

By anticipating critical hydrological events, construction companies can limit unexpected work stoppages. This results in better operational continuity on the construction site, more controlled costs, and a reduction in avoidable delays.

Meet deadlines and control budgets

By reducing uncertainties related to river behavior and the risks of flooding on construction sites, forecasts help ensure compliance with schedules and control of expenses. Flow forecasts thus become a strategic asset to avoid delays and to foster the success of hydraulic construction projects.

Monitor a hydraulic construction project

BWI’s hydrological forecasts support construction works in riverbeds, such as the building or maintenance of infrastructures along a river. Flow forecasts provide reliable information at every stage of the operation, ensuring continuous adaptation to local conditions and proactive risk management.

Forecasts of flow rates and water levels for construction works in riverbeds or along rivers

BWI provides near real-time simulations and forecasts of the behavior of continental surface waters worldwide. By combining in situ data, satellite observations, and machine learning, our hydrological and hydrodynamic models deliver an accurate and reliable view of rivers. Through this online, license-based service, civil engineering companies gain a unique tool to anticipate risks related to river behavior affecting their hydraulic construction projects, to secure their worksites, and to reduce costly interruptions both for project owners and for themselves.
