Interstates partners with XYZ Reality

Interstates, a leading electrical contractor, has announced an exciting partnership with XYZ Reality, a pioneer in construction technology solutions, to revolutionize the construction of an 80-megawatt data centre in Nebraska. This state-of-the-art project is set to transform construction methodologies and enhance data center project delivery.

Through this strategic collaboration, Interstates has advanced layout procedures in ways never seen before, marking a significant milestone in the construction industry. In fact, XYZ Reality’s technology has accelerated laying out by an impressive 500% (five times), achieving unparalleled productivity enhancements.

Together, Interstates and XYZ have set a new benchmark in construction, reducing laying out time by 20 days. With instant on-site access to design models, 956 Unistrut markups were completed in just 15 days, dramatically improving both productivity and accuracy.

This groundbreaking partnership has enabled Interstates to proactively eliminate potential sources of error, thereby enhancing both efficiency and precision in their projects.

The cornerstone of this collaboration is XYZ Reality's construction delivery platform, which combines real-time project controls and engineering grade augmented reality™ (AR), renowned for its millimeter accuracy. This precision has enabled meticulous installations, addressing a longstanding challenge in construction: the reactive detection of errors after they occur, often resulting in costly rework.

By implementing AR technology, Interstates has prevented potential delays and disruptions to subsequent work, safeguarding critical project timelines and budgets.

John Molgaard, Senior Project Manager – Mission Critical at Interstates, said: "The impact of this partnership is a game-changer, marking a significant advancement in construction efficiency and accuracy. Partnering with XYZ Reality and leveraging its cutting-edge AR technology pushes the boundaries of what's possible in data center construction. This collaboration has already yielded incredible results, enhancing our precision and efficiency while significantly reducing rework and delays. We look forward to future collaborations and helping drive the data center industry towards a more efficient future."

Interstates has experienced a significant increase in productivity and efficiency through the partnership, expediting processes and increasing the accuracy that hyperscale data center projects critically depend on.

David Mitchell, Founder and CEO of XYZ Reality, said: "Our partnership is a game-changer for the data center industry. By bringing together Interstates' know-how and our cutting-edge tech, we're not just making things run smoother; we're showing everyone how effective construction can really be. Together, we're pushing the envelope and unlocking a future where building it right, first time and working efficiently are standard practice.”
