FER•Autonomous compactors deployed on Puerto Rico runway project
Ferrovial began using autonomous construction equipment on a new runway project at Rafael Hernández International Airport in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico.
The USD 239 million contract covers a 3,350-meter by 46-meter runway built without interrupting airport operations.
Three compactors were retrofitted for autonomous operation, enabling one operator to oversee multiple machines and lift productivity.
AI-based obstacle detection is designed to stop equipment when people or vehicles enter the work zone, tightening site safety.
