Advanced Construction Robotics completed its first-ever TyBOT project in Wisconsin. TyBOT augmented the crew from MKE Iron Erectors and boosted productivity on the IH-39 Structure B-11-166 bridge in Columbia County.
Content supplied by Advanced Construction RoboticsTyBOT accomplished 17,823 ties in two shifts for this project across a 7,775-square-foot area. TyBOT ties reinforcing steel at a rate of over 1,100 ties per hour. With the addition of Wisconsin, TyBOT has now completed 3.5 million ties on jobs in 12 different states and on over 40 projects.
“Resilience is one of our core values, so we are excited to be the first contractor in Wisconsin to deploy this innovative tool,” said Barb Sheedy, president and owner of MKE, in a statement. “Having TyBOT on our job site was a major asset to our crew as they finished the project on time and on budget. Just as importantly, TyBOT will provide health and safety benefits for our union ironworkers. Less tying means they will experience less physical stress, possibly extending their careers while avoiding strain injuries. We look forward to using TyBOT on future projects.”
“We are really excited to add not only a new customer but a new state to our project portfolio,” said Danielle Proctor, president/CEO of Advanced Construction Robotics, in a statement. “MKE Iron serves as a great example of an innovative contractor that has taken the first step on the path to creating a modern workforce by seeing first-hand how technology can impact their projects.”
