Blattner deployment of Built Robotics equipment for solar construction
Built Robotics reported deployments on 5 Blattner solar projects before an expanded agreement
Problem
Solar construction exposed workers to hazards around heavy equipment, including pile-driving operations. Blattner wanted to reduce that exposure while maintaining construction quality and schedules.
Approach
Blattner, a Quanta Services company, used Built Robotics equipment on solar projects. Trained operators managed the robots from a safe distance, with personnel detection and geofencing among the safeguards. An expanded agreement followed the initial deployments.
Results
Takeaway
Blattner had already deployed robots before committing to a larger rollout. It did not disclose quantified schedule improvements or injury reductions.
