Advanced Construction Robotics deployed IronBOT on its first field project: the West Boulevard Bridge in Port St. Lucie, Florida, with bridge specialty contractor Shelby Erectors. IronBOT lifted and placed rebar bundles on the bridge deck, roughly halving the rebar installation schedule (reported cut from about 14 days to 7). Shelby Erectors is the on-site contractor; Advanced Construction Robotics operated/supported the robot.
