The project
Seasonal weather significantly limits construction productivity in colder climates.
For this contractor, winter conditions created ongoing challenges:
- Delays due to rain, snow, and freezing temperatures
- Reduced quality control for temperature-sensitive processes
- Slower curing times for materials such as shotcrete and plaster
- Increased strain on crews working in exposed conditions
As a result, projects became less predictable, timelines extended, and efficiency dropped during the off-season.
The Njordair solution
Multiple Fast Tent modules were deployed to fully enclose active pool construction sites.
The modular system allowed the contractor to:
- Cover entire pool installations
- Connect multiple tents for larger working areas
- Maintain flexibility across different project layouts
With the addition of heating, the internal environment could be controlled regardless of external weather conditions — creating a dry, stable workspace for both labour and materials.
The outcome
The introduction of a controlled working environment fundamentally changed how projects were delivered during winter months.
Key outcomes included:
- Extended working season by several months
- Consistent curing conditions for critical materials
- Improved productivity and programme reliability
- Better working conditions for site teams
- Cleaner, more controlled job sites
In addition, enclosing the work area reduced visual disruption for clients and presented a more professional site environment.
Rather than reacting to weather delays, the contractor was able to maintain control over both schedule and quality — significantly improving overall project delivery.
