Key Highlights

Installs piles up to 5× faster than traditional methods, reducing cycle times to as little as 1–3 minutes per pile.

Achieves millimeter-level accuracy using RTK GPS, IMUs, and advanced sensors to minimize inspection and rework.

Carries up to 224 piles in one load to maximize daily output and reduce material handling time.

Automatically detects refusal and moves to the next pile, keeping production on schedule without manual intervention.

Case Studies

Blattner and Built Robotics achieve 2.5× faster solar pile installation with 24-hour autonomous operation and improved safety.

  • 2.5× productivity gain compared to manual piling crews
  • 24-hour autonomous operation with tandem excavator configuration
  • Elimination of high-risk manual pile-driving tasks for workers
