We are the client on an NEC4 ECC. Our contractor has notified a weather compensation event for August 2020, with the rainfall being 11 days of 5 mm and above in the month, and over 120 mm of cumulative rain in the month. Met Office averages are 8 days over 5 mm and cumulative 114 mm of rain.
The last Friday of the month (28 August) saw a rainfall of 5.1 mm, and 0.6 mm on Saturday 29. It did not rain on the Sunday, bank holiday Monday or Tuesday 1 September. However, when the contractor returned to site on Tuesday, it was unable to work as planned and had to pump out excavations to continue working. Is this standing time on Tuesday a consequence of and therefore part of the August weather event, or a part of September’s weather?
