Listen to Episode 46 to hear a discussion of two unsung teams whose efforts magnify ERDC’s research capabilities. That includes three fabrication shops (pictured above) 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…
