The Rainy and Storm Season is Approaching - Is Your Facility Ready?

  • 24/06/2026

Every year, heavy rainfall, strong winds, flooding, and landslides significantly impact the operations of factories and industrial facilities across the country.

However, most incidents during the rainy and storm season are not caused by a single heavy downpour or an unusually severe storm. Rather, they often stem from existing vulnerabilities within the facility that have not been identified and addressed in time.

1. For Operating Factories and Industrial Buildings

Before the rainy and storm season begins, facility owners should proactively conduct a comprehensive assessment of their buildings, particularly the components most exposed to rainwater and wind loads:

  • Inspect the roofing system, gutters, downpipes, and the overall drainage capacity of the facility.
  • Review the condition of roofing sheets, ridge caps, connection details, and potential leakage-prone areas.
  • Assess the corrosion status of steel structures, the condition of protective coating systems, and areas frequently exposed to moisture.
  • Check for signs of deformation, excessive deflection, or localized damage within the roof structure and primary load-bearing members.
  • Evaluate potential risks associated with flooding, erosion, or site-specific topographical conditions surrounding the facility.

Inspect the overall drainage capacity of the facility.

The resilience of a building against extreme weather conditions depends not only on maintenance practices but also on the quality of its original design and engineering solutions.

Critical factors such as wind loads, roof slope, drainage design, connection details, roofing materials, steel structural systems, and corrosion protection solutions must be carefully integrated from the outset. A single inadequately designed component can lead to water ponding, leakage, accelerated corrosion, or reduced service life during operation.

In practice, many failures occurring during the rainy and storm season are not solely weather-related. They often result from steel structures, roofing systems, accessories, and protective solutions that were not designed and implemented as part of a coordinated and integrated engineering approach.

In industrial construction, a sustainable facility is not only one that meets structural design requirements but also one that can maintain safe, stable, and efficient operation under actual environmental and climatic conditions.

Roof collapse after prolonged heavy rainfall – a result of inadequate integration between architectural design and structural engineering.

2. For Projects Under Construction

The rainy and storm season also presents significant risks to construction activities if appropriate preventive measures are not implemented.

The following actions should be prioritized:

  • Clean and maintain temporary drainage systems throughout the construction site.
  • Reinforce areas vulnerable to erosion or landslides using appropriate measures such as sandbags, gabions, or temporary retaining systems.
  • Prioritize the completion of construction activities that are most susceptible to weather-related impacts to minimize project risks.
  • Inspect and strengthen temporary bracing, anchoring, and support systems to ensure the stability of structures and equipment on site.
  • Develop emergency response plans and material protection strategies in preparation for severe weather events and storm warnings.

Before the rainy season, businesses should proactively inspect and assess the overall condition of their facilities. 

The rainy and storm season serves as a real-world test of a facility's design quality, construction standards, and maintenance practices. Thorough preparation today is the key to ensuring safe, reliable, and sustainable operations in the years ahead.
