- Description
- The Army is seeking information on products, methods and equipment to rapidly harden surfaces. Advances in surfacing technology have led to the introduction of many new products in the commercial construction industry for surface hardening, finishin g, refinishing, maintenance and upkeep. These products provide alternatives to conventional methods of surface treatment and in some cases claim to perform similarly to asphalt and concrete with respect to strength, toughness and durability. Additional b enefits are alleged in the areas of reduced application efforts, material storage, material cost, transportation and equipment required for installation. Some of these technologies include the use of fast curing/rapid activating polymers, carbon fibers an d low dosage resins, woven and non-woven geotextiles and various fiber reinforced materials. In an effort to keep pace with technological advances within the commercial construction industry and to seek alternatives to conventional surfacing procedures and materials, the U.S. Army Manuever Support Center, Ft Leonard Wood, MO and Product Manager, Combat Engineer/Material Handling Office, TACOM, are interested in exploring these new technologies and investigating their usefulness at being applied in various m ilitary missions and environments. Areas of key interest with these products are: (1) fast activating/curing of material; (2) hardness, strength and durability of material; (3) ease of material application; (4) minimal/reduced equipment required during m aterial application; (5) transportation, storage and logistical requirements of material; (6) thickness, composition and application alternatives of materiel on various types of existing surfaces; and (7) application conditions and performance limitations in various environments/conditions. POCs: U.S. Army Manuever Support Center, Ft Leonard Wood, MO, Mr. Scott Pezzuti, (573) 563-7357. Product Manager, Combat Engineer/Material Handling Office, TACOM, Mr. David S. Schwartz, (586) 574-6094. Email David.s.schwartz@us.army.mil
