ERDC Innovation
ERDC is in the vanguard of innovative construction technology, including pavements engineering, modular protection systems (MPS), barricades, and more. Explore these technologies for more information on how they can benefit your business.
• Captures 2D velocity maps across large areas
• Uses compact, simpler equipment for easy field use
• Supports comprehensive flow analysis in rivers, coastal areas, and industrial water systems
• Ensures access across lighter convey waves, bridging systems, and austere sites
• Achieves full-scale trafficability testing, rapid prototyping, and performance objectives
• Provides an affordable option for rapid deployment of a trafficable roadway by a small crew in austere coastal environments
• Distinct CNC programming digitally creates expanded polystyrene foam (EPS) blocks that can be easily employed to create more detailed and accurate bathymetric models than traditional concrete
• EPS foam blocks can be easily and rapidly placed and removed in situ, allowing prototype refinement, use in limited space areas, and storage
• Using EPS reduces construction costs by 30-60% and allows up to 60% faster construction time compared with concrete modeling
• Over-bridge free spans (e.g. damaged piers or bridges)
• Side-load or end-load railcars anywhere along the line
• Deploy on uneven surfaces and compromised preexisting structures
• Assembles quickly without the need for power tools or heavy machinery
• Recoverable and reconfigure
• Stops large vehicles upon contact
• Place or recover in less than 30 minutes
• Integrates into QuadCon for easy storage, transport and deployment
• No specialized equipment or tools required
• Blocks areas of any size with incrementally linkable 8'-width units
• Armored panel system provides ballistic and blast protection
• Set up in less than 30 minutes with no anchoring, special tools or equipment required
• Lightweight, portable and easy to transport
• Customizable to nearly any room width and height
• Demonstrated higher performance (100 passes of an F15-E) in all temperatures than cold-mix asphalt
• Pre-packaged in 5-gallon buckets
• Effectively unlimited shelf life
• Lower installed cost than factory-provided hot mix or cold mix
• Stops vehicles on contact
• Easy to store, reconfigure, or redeploy
• Quick and simple on-site assembly
• Multiple barriers can be connected together
• No specialized tools or training necessary
• 3D printed kit-of-parts for rigid, protective shelter
• Designed to be lightweight, reusable and easily transportable
• Easy to assemble and disassemble on-site
• No tools required
• Multiple configurations for broad applications
• Improves the safety and extends the life of concrete structures
• Reinforces concrete joints up to sixfold
• Protects from salt corrosion
• Reduces the need for costly maintenance and repair
• Custom-build any structure, any size, on-site in a fraction of the time
• Reduces shipping of building materials by half
• Reduces manpower requirements by 62% as compared to plywood
• Ballistic and blast protection that expands to any length
• Self-contained, collapsible, recoverable, and repairable for optimized logistics
• Easy to assemble,works on uneven terrain
• No power or special equipment required
