Hyperion Robotics revolutionises UK infrastructure with 3D printing tech
Hyperion Robotics, a startup driving smarter, faster, and greener construction, is reshaping the way the UK approaches infrastructure projects. By integrating cutting-edge 3D printing technology and proprietary low-carbon concrete materials, the company addresses some of the construction industry’s most pressing challenges, including project timelines, costs, and sustainability.
With £700 billion worth of infrastructure planned to be built in the UK over the next decade, the industry is under immense pressure to deliver projects that are not only on time and within budget but also align with strict sustainability goals. Hyperion Robotics has stepped up to the challenge by offering solutions that are not only Eurocodes compliant, but also significantly reduce costs, shorten programme durations, and cut CO2 emissions, helping contractors and asset owners tackle these obstacles head-on.
Impact at a glance
- 75% less material use through robotic automation producing highly efficient concrete structures
- 70% reduction in CO2 emissions with proprietary, low-carbon concrete solutions
- 70% faster project completion using agile, localised microfactories
- 20-30% cost savings for stakeholders thanks to automation and streamlined processes
Hyperion’s integration of parametric design, robotics, and circular materials not only enhances design flexibility but also significantly improves worker safety and reduces on-site risks by up to 21%. This approach has already been implemented in various sectors, with projects ranging from low-carbon foundations for energy plants for Iberdrola to bespoke draw pits for critical water infrastructure for Yorkshire Water and Mott MacDonald Bentley.
Hyperion Robotics is led by a diverse team of innovators with deep expertise across construction, automation, and materials science, including Fernando De los Rios, a serial entrepreneur and former EY professional as Co-Founder and CEO.
Supporting the founders is a capable leadership team, including Juan Carlos Sanchez (COO/CFO), a finance professional with over 12 years of startup and venture capital expertise, Hanna Smorodinzeff, a seasoned HR leader who has played a key role in scaling international growth companies, and Max von Rettig, who brings expertise in sustainability and deeptech investments.
“The £700 billion infrastructure investment presents a monumental opportunity for innovation and Hyperion Robotics is uniquely positioned to deliver the smarter, greener, and more cost-effective solutions the industry demands,” said Fernando De los Rios, CEO of Hyperion Robotics. “With our advanced technology, we’re proving that sustainability and efficiency can coexist without compromise. This transformation is not a future concept; it’s happening now, and we’re proud to lead the charge.”
