Brasfield & Gorrie recently teamed up with Houston-based construction technology firm Rugged Robotics to pilot new robotic layout technology on a jobsite in Dallas. Together, the firms tested the new rover on a hotel construction site. Rugged Robotics completed a multitrade layout on one floor, covering about 25,000 sq ft.
Traditionally, the field layout process involves using tape measures, chalk lines and surveying equipment to manually mark the locations of walls and mechanical systems. Rugged Robotics automates this process, using small robotic vehicles to mark fully coordinated designs on concrete floors. The rover can print much more information than is typically seen on a manual layout. This technology also helps eliminate potential oversights and errors in the manual layout. Another advantage of this technology is that it takes care of easily automated, often repetitive tasks, allowing people to focus on higher-value tasks that require their expertise.
