Additional Context
A new factory in North Lincolnshire will use robots to 3D print concrete parts for construction when it opens next June. The facility will focus on producing components like foundations and infrastructure elements at scale, using low-carbon materials and robotic systems rather than traditional molds. The project is being developed by Hyperion Robotics in partnership with Swedish company LKAB Minerals, and is already tied to a real project with its first known client, Costain, a UK infrastructure contractor working on major energy and transport projects.
Costain has already lined up 3D printed concrete foundations for a carbon capture project on Teesside, part of the East Coast Cluster. Costain and A E Yates will work with Hyperion to produce approximately 90 high-strength concrete pipe su
