Pilot Projects

Suffolk Technologies initiated a pilot program with Urban Machine to reclaim lumber for reuse in another construction project. They’ll export wood from one building, reclaim it with our robot, and use the lumber for another project in the Bay Area — highlighting the circularity and sustainability of their construction practices.

In collaboration with Napa Recycling, Urban Machine installed collection racks at their facility to measure wood salvaged, offering a sustainable approach to C&D wood waste management. By robotically reclaiming wood from their facility, we minimize environmental impact, gather more reclaimed lumber for reuse in construction projects, and create a blueprint for similar initiatives across other resource recovery facilities.

Victory Vibes

with LOIs

Omtre R&D project manager, Wendy Wuyts, signed an LOI while visiting Urban Machine from Norway.

Urban Machine is thrilled to announce that Omtre, a Norwegian start-up specializing in reclaimed lumber for reuse in construction, has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with us!

This partnership marks a significant milestone towards revolutionizing the reuse of lumber through innovative technology.

VEMA Deconstruction in Vancouver signed an LOI to receive one of Urban Machine’s wood-reclaiming robots, marking a pivotal moment for deconstruction and reuse.

Erick Ventura Serpas, Owner of VEMA Deconstruction, is dedicated to sustainable demolition. Teaming with Urban Machine will enhance efforts to reuse building materials even further.

This collaboration means more reclaimed materials, less waste, and a brighter future for construction.

NEW TECH

Teaser Alert

Urban Machine’s engineers have implemented hardware for more efficiency than ever before. With cutting-edge cutter technology at the onset, the robot can get cooking to swiftly remove metal fasteners from C&D wood waste–reclaiming it for reuse as premium lumber. Stay tuned for the full reveal!
