How Kajima Cut Unplanned Work Stoppages by 4 Per Year on a Government Rail Contract
On a fixed-deadline government rail contract, a single unplanned work stoppage does not just cost a day, it triggers contractual obligations, disrupts subcontractor schedules, and moves the entire programme. Kajima Corporation's site team on the Naniwasuji Line in Osaka faced exactly this risk: heavy machinery operating 30 metres above ground, surrounded by buildings that create wind conditions no regional forecast can predict. By adopting ArchiWind Live, the team replaced individual judgement calls with site-specific, continuously updated wind intelligence shared across the entire crew. The result: 4 unnecessary stoppages avoided per year, 48 person-days recovered, and an estimated €20,000–€26,000 in annual cost savings.
