Case Study: Mortenson Streamlines Multi-Trade Data Center Layout with Dusty Robotics

Dusty Streamlines Mortenson’s Data Center Mega Project

Mortenson, an ENR top 30 general contractor, was facing challenges with accuracy and efficiency on a $1 billion, 700,000-square-foot data center project. With multiple trades performing individual layouts, the fast-moving project was prone to errors from outdated plans, leading to rework and schedule delays. The company chose Dusty Robotics and its FieldPrinter automated layout solution to streamline the data transfer from coordinated models to the physical construction site.

By implementing Dusty's multi-trade layout process, all trades worked from a single, accurate source of truth, which eliminated conflicts and inaccuracies. The solution saved significant time, consolidating a process that previously took five trades five separate days into a single day for all layout. Dusty Robotics also proved invaluable for installing prefabricated components, eliminating several steps in the process and preventing rework, which saved the project time, money, and manpower.
