Video: #46: DPW and R&D Shops

We are exploring a pair of unsung teams whose efforts magnify ERDC’s research capabilities.

That includes three fabrication shops where master craftsmen – welders, machinists and model makers – turn research concepts into a tangible reality. Meanwhile, ERDC’s Directorate of Public Works, or DPW, is responsible for maintaining the organization’s facilities and infrastructure – including the massive demands for power and water to accommodate large-scale research projects. Together, these teams enable ERDC to execute world-class R&D.

Joining us to discuss these unique capabilities are ERDC DPW chief Jonathan Howell and Zach Smith, program manager of ERDC’s R&D fabrication group.

Topics include the types of projects supported by ERDC’s master craftsmen (4:44), the unique infrastructure and utility demands at an R&D organization (11:00), and the capabilities found on both teams (19:47).
