New Ultrafast Device Welds Bridge Parts in Seconds (VIDEO)
Caption
Current methods used for repairing our bridges are costly and time-consuming. That's why engineers at the Cockrell School's Center for Electromechanics have been working to develop a new high-speed welding technology for steel bridge infrastructure improvements that cuts conventional welding times by more than half.
The Center for Electromechanics is working with Austin-based Koo and Associates International, Inc. to commercialize the technology, which was funded by the U.S. Department of Transportation.
