New features in the TDI Windstorm System
Users will now upload supporting documents through the Windstorm System as part of the submittal process for form WPI-2E. This eliminates the requirement to email supporting documents to TDI separately for completed construction projects.
- Documents can be attached to a new application or added to an existing application.
- You can only see documents you upload. You will not see documents uploaded by TDI or a previous engineer.
- Once you submit a document, it cannot be removed or updated.
- TDI has also added a history log to the application view for both ongoing and completed construction.
Get more information on these new features including how to upload and submit documents.
