With the Support Of
Our weather intelligence corrects weather forecast errors for construction and multi-site enterprises, reducing schedule disruptions, cost overruns, and safety risks.
The forecast may be right for the region and still be wrong for your site. Construction teams need to know what conditions will look like where the work actually happens.
Standard weather services often provide data for broad regions. These wide-net forecasts miss the nuances of your specific job site.
Replaces broad regional reports with forecasts calibrated to your exact coordinates, corrected in real time against your own on-site sensor data.
Automated warnings for high winds, lightning, fire risk, and heat stress — timed to keep crews ahead of the call, not caught by it.
We don't make hardware — we connect to yours. SafeCast ingests data from any weather station or IoT sensor, public or private, and blends 30+ public and private forecasting services, so you know you're getting the best forecast for your location.
Here’s how SafeCast turns raw atmospheric data into a decision you can act on.
SafeCast pulls from large-scale gridded forecast models and combines that data with your on-site IoT sensor feeds — wind, temperature, and humidity measured at your exact coordinates.
Proprietary machine learning analyzes your local sensor feeds to correct the broad atmospheric models, scaling predictions down to your specific microclimate and sub-acre areas.
The result: a 15-day hourly forecast and automated alerts for wind, lightning, fire, and heat stress — sent to your team before conditions turn dangerous.
Our projects showcase how construction teams are making more confident decisions with site-specific weather intelligence.
DOE IgniteX Program
In September 2025, Benchmark Labs joined the sixth cohort of Black & Veatch's IgniteX Accelerator Program. This cohort focuses on innovative project execution. Through the program, Benchmark Labs works side by side with Black & Veatch experts to build, test, and scale SafeCast's AI-driven hyperlocal weather forecasting and alert technology for field construction and operations.
2026 Edison Awards
SafeCast earned a Bronze Winner honor in the Critical Human Infrastructure category at the 2026 Edison Awards. This national honor recognizes SafeCast's work protecting field crews and critical infrastructure from environmental risk.
Prescribed Fire Operations
Beyond construction, controlled burn teams working with The Nature Conservancy use Benchmark Labs' point-specific forecasts to plan and execute prescribed burns — work with the same planning criticality as a job site. Conditions on the ground are life-or-death for crews, and a misstep can escalate into a wildfire and cause significant damage. Knowing the wind, humidity, and temperature at the burn unit — not the region — is what makes the go/no-go call.
