    The Environmental Laboratory’s Dena Dickerson, shown with her show dog, Jada, used her canine training and field trial expertise to test a possible solution to chase off birds causing extensive damages at Oklahoma’s Robert S. Kerr Lock and Dam. The impressive experiment with Panda, her own border collie, resulted in the Corps’ Tulsa District purchase of border collie Ellie, who keeps the facility clear of thousands of cormorants and gulls

    EL’s Dickerson uses animal expertise to solve lock and dam problem

    Like scientists and engineers, border collies are problem-solvers, so Research Biologist Dena

    Dec. 21, 2012, WEST POINT, N.Y.--As part of an ERDC effort, U.S. Military Academy at West Point cadets recently completed their first term of work on the Structural Insulated Panels (SIP) Hut, a prototype energy efficient barracks structure.
  • After the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center Airfield Damage Repair (ADR) team train the airmen, members of the Rapid Engineer Deployable, Heavy Operational Repair Squadron Engineer (RED HORSE) squadron use the materials, equipment and methods to repair craters during a simulated wet weather demonstration at Tyndall Air Force Base, Fla. The protective covers are placed the work underway to prevent dilution of the repair materials and over the repaired area to enable rapid set to take place.

    11-Step program repairs airfield damage

    The U.S. Air Force (USAF) is seeking technologies to repair 120 airfield craters in 6.5 hours using eight repair teams. Researchers with ERDC’s Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory (GSL) are currently working with the Air Force Research Laboratory and the U.S. Air Force Civil Engineer Center to develop the materials and techniques, tactics and procedures (TTP) to reach that goal.
