December 15 – Masonry Automation with the FBR Hadrian X System  (1 LU | HSW)

As construction schedules tighten, speed of construction is becoming an increasingly critical consideration across all trades.

Though masonry delivers numerous benefits, speed of construction is not typically one of its top selling points. However, new technologies are promising to revolutionize the trade.

Join experts from Oldcastle APG as we explore new automated installation technologies such as Hadrian X from FBR that merge BIM modeling with advanced robotics to enable faster, more efficient masonry installs.
