License ERDC’s Patented Construction Technologies

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.

Submersible Matting System (SUBMAT)

• 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

Modular Bathymetry

• 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

Rapidly Deployable Over Decking Systems

• 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

Deployable Expedient Traffic Entry Regulator (DETER)

• 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
