How to handle 'Weather Day' clauses in long-term tower crane contracts?
Define specific wind thresholds, measurement methods, and credit calculations upfront. Include hourly documentation requirements and clear dispute resolution procedures.
Weather day clauses should specify exact wind speed thresholds that trigger rental credits, typically 25-35 mph sustained winds or manufacturer-specified limits. Establish the measurement location, equipment type, and frequency of readings. Define whether gusts or sustained winds apply, and clarify if partially worked days qualify for prorated credits.
