Our technical story: The Beginnings
Material properties of low-grade hardwoods and their application in high strength engineered wood products.
EMTEK wood composite development with fracture mechanics theory. Leads to patent linking lamination thickness to strength.
Application of EMTEK billets into a mat. Leads to patent for engineered wood composites in matting.
Beam on elastic foundation engineering methodology.
Our technical story: Product Development
Insert solid elastometric bearing pads (SBR) between billets to allow for expansion and contraction.
Miconized Copper pressure treatment to impede biodegredation. Leachability studies conducted on product to ensure use in sensitive wetlands.
Application of steel edge protection with sufficiently short sections to eliminate induced movements.
Our technical story: Moving Beyond The "Mat"
Patent for EMTEK "Type" system design in development road network for semi-permanent access.
Steel edge geometry switched from tube to custom corrugated profile to allow for connectivity between mats.
Flow Studies through Darling Marine Center.
Site Survey App and outsourced Inundation Studies
Finite element analysis and beam on non-homogenous elastic foundation methodology for modeling varying subgrade conditions.
