    From waste to resource

    A new project from the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) is helping meet ambitious goals for beneficially using the material it dredges by exploring how 3D printers can transform the dredged sediment into a building block for ecosystem restoration.
  • Hydraulic engineer learns key element in water infrastructure projects

    Hydraulic engineers specialize in the properties and movement of liquids, namely water. Their job entails making highly educated guesses on how water will interact with infrastructure like dams, bridges, and canals. However, a young U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) hydraulic engineer’s approach focuses on another—and most important—element tied to their projects, the human element.
  • Wellbot offers innovative solution to cleaning, maintaining relief wells

    Wellbot is an autonomous device that blends the power of UVC-emitting lamps with powerful brushes to address the fouling and corrosion that limits a well’s capacity. It provides districts with a cost-effective alternative without the potential risk from using chemicals, or the need for significant equipment and manpower to deploy.
  • FUNWAVE Model is a Feasible Solution for Vessel Wake Issues

    FUNWAVE, a numerical wave model that simulates ocean surface wave propagation in shallow and intermediate water was developed and updated by ERDC and released in 1998. It can be used to model complex coastal processes, such as tsunami waves, coastal inundation, wave propagation and surf zone-scale optical properties.
  • Memphis District appoints new engineering and construction division chief

    The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Memphis District promoted Shane Callahan to the engineering and construction division chief role. In this role, he is responsible for flood risk management, engineering and construction, navigation, ecosystem restoration, and water supply projects within the Memphis District's boundaries, including portions of Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, and Kentucky.
