Coastal damage in Plympton: wind and exposure
Wind pressure and exposure grading around Plympton. We record findings per elevation so you are not paying to over-specify the sheltered side.

Weather performance is rated against pressure, not against rainfall. Driving rain is pushed through any available path by wind pressure difference, so an elevation facing the prevailing wind is tested far harder than a sheltered one on the same building.

Weather performance is rated against pressure, not against rainfall. Driving rain is pushed through any available path by wind pressure difference, so an elevation facing the prevailing wind is tested far harder than a sheltered one on the same building.
Local topography can matter more than the regional picture. A gap between buildings, a rising slope or an exposed corner accelerates wind locally, which is why one property fails while its neighbour is fine.
This is why survey findings are recorded per elevation. Specifying the whole building to the standard of its worst face is wasteful; specifying it to the standard of its best face is worse.
