  • ERDC, USACE Mobile District deploy innovative 3D-printed oyster reefs in Mobile Bay

    Maintaining the nation’s waterways requires removal of millions of cubic yards of sediment to keep navigation channels safe and reliable. A team at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) is advancing a different way of thinking about material: rather than treating dredged sediment solely as something to manage, how it can it be used as an engineering resource to strengthen coastal systems? ERDC’s Environmental Laboratory, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Mobile District and regional partners are evaluating whether dredged sediment can be transformed into 3D-printed structures that provide oyster habitat, improve shoreline resilience and expand beneficial use opportunities.

Dredging operations are expected to start as early as July 18 and will contribute to the creation of a new Great Lakes wetland in Buffalo’s outer harbor.

  • ERDC researchers granted patent for novel underwater UXO blast shield invention

    Military weapons, ammunition, equipment, and materials, collectively known as munitions of war, lie at the bottom of rivers, lakes, and oceans across the country. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers works to safely locate and remove the munitions, preventing aquatic and human environmental hazards. Two U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) engineers recently developed a patented technology that could significantly improve how those underwater munitions are detected and recovered.
