For personal use only ASX Announcement FBR Limited FBR Limited Quarterly Report | December 2020 FBR Friday , 29 January 2021 - Robotic technology company FBR Limited ( ASX : FBR ) ( ' FBR ' or ' the Company ' ) is pleased to provide its quarterly update for the three months ending December 31 , 2020 . FBR completes first two storey structure On 26 October 2020 FBR announced that it had completed construction of its first two storey structure using the Hadrian XⓇ . The structure was built on FBR's premises in a building style commonly found around the world in developing markets , including in key FBR markets such as Mexico , the MENA and GCC region and throughout Asia . This was the first time FBR had demonstrated the Hadrian XⓇ's ability to build two storey structures , as well as working with design elements like steel reinforced concrete columns , suspended concrete slabs and rebar . Starter bars were inserted into the concrete slab , with couplers used to install rebar through the aligned cores of the blocks and concrete manually poured into the cores . Steel cages were inserted into the block columns built by the Hadrian XⓇ , with a concrete pump used to fill the columns . FBR crane - lifted a precast concrete slab onto the structure the day after the first storey was completed , with the Hadrian XⓇ commencing building of the second storey immediately after the crane left FBR's premises . In large greenfield developments it is likely the Hadrian XⓇ would continue building the first levels of the adjacent buildings in the development while the second storey slabs are formed and poured , before returning to build the second storey of each structure once the slabs have cured . Pilot Programs with international block manufacturers Subsequent to the end of the period , FBR announced the execution of a Pilot Program agreement with Xella , a multi - billion dollar international business that specialises in the manufacture and supply of innovative building products , including Ytong autoclaved aerated concrete blocks ( AAC blocks ) and Silka calcium silicate blocks ( CSUs ) . Ytong AACs are large format concrete blocks constructed to a high dimensional accuracy which are potentially very well suited to be laid by the Hadrian XⓇ . Silka CSUs are a sustainable , low energy , sound absorbent , low compression , non - combustible , weatherproof building block that are in common use throughout the world . The purpose of the Australian Pilot Program is to enable FBR and Xella to develop a practical understanding of the capabilities of each other's products , within the limitations of the economic conditions and travel restrictions resulting from the COVID - 19 pandemic . Xella will deliver a number of AAC and CSU blocks to FBR , which FBR will use to construct at least two buildings at FBR's premises using the Hadrian XⓇ . After completion of the Pilot Program , FBR and Xella will consult with one another on any changes to the AAC or CSU blocks , adhesives or the Hadrian XⓇ that may be beneficial to progress the commercialisation of the Hadrian XⓇ with Xella blocks in Europe , as well as a European pilot building program . FBR is also anticipating the delivery of a large shipment of Wienerberger blocks in the coming weeks . The Wienerberger blocks are in transit currently and , upon delivery , will be used to complete a Pilot Program with Wienerberger at FBR's premises .
