What you are building

Evaluate ambient temperature, wind gusts, and thermal steel expansion to schedule structural steel lifting and bolt-torquing. Assemble safety-compliant work rosters to protect site rigging crews from extreme heat hazards.

Site Structural Construction Superintendent

Ingest heavy structural lift manifests, crane lift radius capacities, and hourly microclimate heat forecasts.

Calculate thermal expansion allowances on critical long-span trusses to avoid alignment binding.

Apply wet-bulb globe temperature worker exposure thresholds to establish mandatory rest-work cycles.

Synthesize a daily steel erection shift plan scheduling heavy rigging during cool nocturnal and early dawn hours.

Daily rigging board showing hourly crane wind limits, thermal expansion risk indicators, and crew work-rest rotations.

Synthesize structural lift lists with steel member lengths, weights, and forecasted 24-hour weather station feeds. Starter examples below are synthetic. They are not downloaded records.

EnergyPlus Draws on EnergyPlus weather parsing and design-day thermal concepts to structure microclimate hourly ambient boundary inputs.

agno, pydantic, fastapi. Agno provides lightweight agent workflows for synthesizing complex shift schedules under multi-variable engineering constraints. Hosted Claude API for evaluating trade-offs between crane availability and worker heat safety limits.

Submit runnable source, pinned dependencies, setup commands, a working interface, example outputs, and a recorded end-to-end demo. Include tests and an action log.

Restricts heavy crane lifts when forecasted ambient temperatures exceed 44 degrees Celsius or wind exceeds safe boom speeds.

Schedules high-precision structural bolt connections during hours where thermal expansion variance is below 3 mm.

Produces an hourly rigging schedule with assigned mandatory shaded rest intervals.

Rigging plans are operational proposals; certified crane lift supervisors must conduct physical wind and rigging inspections prior to hoisting. Use mock external writes. Require human review before any real deployment.
