A big thank you to GLX Constructors (Herzog, Fluor, Middlesex Corporation, Balfour Beatty), H&A Steel and Ironworkers Local 7 of Boston, MA, for a successful TyBot demonstration on the Green Line Extension Project in Cambridge, MA. It was a privilege working with the GLX team, and we look forward to upcoming projects in the greater Boston area!

The Green Line Extension Project will extend the existing Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) Public Transit System’s Green Line into the communities of Somerville, Cambridge and Medford, MA.

“The efficiency of the robot was awesome! It was definitely a big help to our schedule.”
Courtney Holman
Owner, Steel Enforcers

TyBot recently completed its first project for rebar subcontractor Steel Enforcers, Inc. on Collins Creek Bridge in Mobile County, AL. This 37,000 square foot bridge deck had a 50% tie requirement for both top and bottom mats. Extreme weather conditions interrupted rebar installation multiple times, making schedule an even higher priority than usual. TyBot was glad to help. Thank you, Steel Enforcers! Check out the full project details on our Projects page HERE.

Thank you to Beech Construction for bringing TyBot back for yet another project. TyBot joined Beech’s rebar team on the Freedom Road Turnpike Bridge Project in Butler County, PA. As part of PennDOT’s Accelerated Bridge Construction Program, the structure was constructed in sections off-site and moved into final position requiring only short-term closures. TyBot contributed to meeting the project’s enhanced schedule demands by tying continuously for 19 straight hours!
