Australian environmental technology company SiteHive has expanded its IoT environmental intelligence platform with the launch of SiteHive Weather, integrating real-time weather monitoring into the same cloud platform used for dust, noise, vibration and water monitoring on construction and infrastructure projects.
The company says the addition is intended to help operators correlate hyperlocal weather conditions with environmental performance data in real time, supporting operational decision-making, compliance and incident analysis.
The update comes as infrastructure operators increasingly adopt connected platforms to consolidate environmental and operational data that has historically been managed through separate systems. SiteHive cited research indicating around 45% of global construction projects are affected by weather-related delays.
SiteHive co-founder Ben Cooper-Woolley said weather data is often not integrated into the systems used to manage sites in real time. “Weather is one of the most significant external variables affecting operations, safety and performance, yet it often sits outside the systems teams use to manage sites in real time. By integrating weather and environmental monitoring, we’re providing a connected operational intelligence layer that reflects what’s actually happening on site,” he said.
SiteHive said its weather device uses ultrasonic wind and acoustic rain sensors with no moving parts, differing from traditional weather stations that rely on tipping buckets and mechanical anemometers.
Daniel Shutt, Gamuda’s environmental advisor on the Sydney Metro West project, said the platform was used during beta testing. “Having accurate, real-time weather alongside our environmental monitoring helps the team prepare for environmental risks, supports planning for high-risk activities and minimises site costs associated with weather related setbacks,” Shutt said.
SiteHive said key capabilities in SiteHive Weather include real-time monitoring through a single cloud platform, automated alerts for weather and environmental thresholds, historical datasets and reporting, and automated site imagery every 15 minutes to verify site conditions.
SiteHive Weather is available from 15 July 2026.
