Case Study: Christopher B. Burke Engineering, Ltd achieves improved municipal flood response and cost savings with Tomorrow.io

How Engineering Firm Christopher B. Burke Engineering, LTD (CBBEL) Uses Tomorrow.io to Help Local Communities Stay Ahead of The Weather

Christopher B. Burke Engineering, Ltd. (CBBEL) is a full‑service consulting engineering and surveying firm in Chicago that partners with local municipalities to manage flooding and storm response. Facing the challenge of distinguishing severe storms from routine rain to advise when to mobilize public works, protect crews, and communicate to the public, CBBEL turned to Tomorrow.io for predictive weather insights and real‑time forecasts.

Tomorrow.io’s platform delivers precipitation‑per‑hour and 4–6 hour accumulation forecasts plus wind and lightning risk, enabling CBBEL to make confident Go/No‑Go decisions, automate internal and public communications, and implement safety protocols days in advance. By using Tomorrow.io, CBBEL has reduced unnecessary Public Works mobilizations (saving municipalities money), improved response timing and safety, and strengthened client trust through more accurate, proactive recommendations.
