The Bureau of Reclamations Materials and Engineering Research Laboratory is sharing its knowledge, experience and capability in evaluating material from large dams. This unique expertise and range of services are unique to anywhere else in the world. Since its inception, Reclamation has been active internationally. It has long made available its expertise in water resources through specially designed reimbursable technical assistance and training programs. Programs may entail the assignment of Reclamation experts overseas on long-term details (usually two years), on a short-term basis, or a combination of both. Each technical assistance program is designed to address the specific needs of the requesting agency, and technology transfer and capacity building are routinely integrated into each program. All costs associated with technical assistance programs are fully reimbursable to Reclamation. To learn more please visit: usbr.gov/international/tech.html. Part of Reclamations Technical Service Center, the Materials Engineering and Research Laboratory occupies 3½ acres of Building 56 in the Denver Federal Center, Reclamations research facility. MERL has the facilities to test concrete, concrete reinforcement, selected metals, plastics, geotextiles, coatings, and other materials. Tests include physical properties, corrosion, durability, environmental, and drying and shrinkage. To learn more, please visit: usbr.gov/pmts/materials_lab/.
