Albert and Nate talk through a quiet shift happening on capital projects: climate adaptation is no longer a long-term planning exercise — it’s a short-term delivery problem.
Schedules that used to anchor around stable permitting windows, predictable summer outages, and long-established build seasons are now under pressure.
What project leaders are starting to see:
- Wildfire season overlapping with outage work
- Permitting agencies pulling back windows without warning
- “Summer” no longer guaranteeing dry or safe conditions
- Disasters triggering asset failures that disrupt project sequencing
This episode explores how project teams are:
- Getting caught off guard by compounding seasonal risks
- Losing float without realizing it
- Pivoting from long-range climate planning to last-minute climate reacting
If you’re still building your schedule around assumptions that no longer hold — this is the episode that forces a rethink.
