WET WEATHER AFFECTING CONSTRUCTION SEASON

I&Y Construction, LLC is in the home stretch of what looks to be another successful construction season.  As of right now, we have completed 12 sports lighting installations this year, and we have several more yet to finish by the end of the year.  Crossing this year’s construction season finish line looks like it might be a little harder than normal.

Inclement weather in 2018 has been terrible, and for any company trying to get work done outdoors, it presents problems. The affect the weather has had on I&Y Construction, LLC is no exception. Our entire installation region from NY to DC has experienced an unprecedented amount of rainfall, making it the wettest construction season we have ever experienced.   The large amounts of rainfall have made many jobs more challenging than usual, and the continued storms and weekly rainfall are starting to take their toll and affect our schedules.

Check out the video footage below from of one of our job sites.  It gives you a good idea of how rain can impact a construction site, create extra work, and potentially delay the completion of a project.                             Play Site Conditions Video 

Fortunately, we were able to complete the job in the video within our original time frame.  However, we do have several projects in progress that remain incomplete simply because we are waiting on site conditions to improve so that we can wrap them up. There is very little we can do now, except to wait for things to dry out. We continue to monitor our job site conditions on a daily basis, and as soon as things improve, I &Y Construction LLC, has a team of dedicated employees ready to go to work.  Our team of installation experts are willing to do whatever is necessary to get these sports lighting projects completed and ready for use in the upcoming seasons.

If you are interested in getting some new sports lighting installed, or want information about upgrading your current system, please contact Matt Snyder and he will help guide you through the process.
