The project
Winter conditions limiting pool construction productivity
Seasonal weather significantly limits construction productivity in colder climates.
For this contractor, winter conditions created ongoing challenges including 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, and 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
A connected Fast Tent system with controlled heating
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, and 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
A longer working season with more reliable site conditions
The introduction of a controlled working environment fundamentally changed how projects were delivered during winter months.
Key outcomes included an extended working season by several months, consistent curing conditions for critical materials, improved productivity and programme reliability, better working conditions for site teams, and 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.
