OpenBrIM
OpenBrIM is the world’s first and only on-cloud, collaborative, parametric information modeling platform that combines 3D modeling, FEA, CAD, code check, load rating, inspection and more in your web browser. It provides medium- and long-term asset management and engineering-hour efficiency with reusable parametric library components and parametric workflows that are designed per user and/or their customer processes. It dramatically decreases time-consuming tasks with the power of parametric automations, which leads to a quick design turnaround, reduced NRE, cycle time, and time-to-market resiliency. Moreover, the parametric library concept enables a strong asset management where the model can be recalled rather than remodeled, allowing engineers to pass the design intelligence onto other engineers and stakeholders throughout the bridge lifecycle.

Soil Retention
ENVIROFLEX is a tapered interlocking articulating concrete block (ACB) revetment system designed for erosion control use in areas with high-velocity flows that are subject to scour. ENVIROFLEX offers a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to rip-rap, gabion mattresses, solid concrete or asphalt linings, and other hard armor systems. The ENVIROFLEX system design reduces surface drag on the block during flow events, which minimizes overturning potential, creating the most-stable ACB surface in the market. The ability for ENVIROFLEX to accept sediment infill from storm events allows the establishment of riparian plants and enables cyclical natural habitat while providing a stable and scour-proof bottom. ENVIROFLEX applications include channel lining, dam/spillway overtopping protection, culvert outlets, detention/retention basins, embankments, levee stabilization, wetland traffic crossings, pipeline protection and more.

Steelike
Steelike, Inc. supplies ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) under the trademark Steelike. Steelike UHPC is a more sustainable building material that is 5X stronger, with 10X wear resistance and 100X corrosion resistance compared to traditional concrete. Steelike UHPC is mixable in standard ready-mix trucks, can be pumped and sprayed (shotcrete), and has been used for construction projects since 2014. Steelike UHPC meets or exceeds federal and state requirements for UHPC in highway infrastructure projects, and has been successfully used for bridge deck overlays, link slabs, repair of steel girders and columns, and to connect precast deck panels and precast girders for Accelerated Bridge Construction. Steelike has also developed groundbreaking and cost-saving innovations such as eliminating grinding of UHPC connections and curing UHPC overlays without sheeting.
