SUGAR LAND, TX--September 13, 2012--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--The winter months are traditionally slower months when it comes to capital and maintenance projects in the U.S. Expecting difficult weather, companies would rather schedule major projects for the spring when it is easier to do things outdoors. However, this does not mean project work ceases completely. Companies typically attempt to get more work done in the earlier of the cooler months, when the weather has not turned totally unbearable in many parts of the country. To that end, Industrial Info is currently tracking close to 700 capital and maintenance projects with an estimated investment value of more than $28 billion that are scheduled to begin construction activities in October in the U.S.
