Success Stories
“Tekcrete ™ Fast: This ultra-rapid hardening, high performance dry process shotcrete (sprayed concrete product) was developed by the University of Kentucky through NIHS for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The product was formulated to quickly stabilize damaged buildings and is currently commercially sustained as an important advance in mine safety, available at www.minovaglobal.com.
“Motion Amplification®: This video-based sensing technology was developed by the University of Louisville through NIHS for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). This technology was designed to enable highway bridge inspectors to assess bridge problems from a remote distance using motion and vibration. By expanding the application to include large manufacturing machines, this technology has been very successful commercially and is currently available at www.rditechnologies.com.
Planning and Implementing a Drive-Through Vaccination Process: A Complete How-To Manual: This is a one-stop toolkit for planning, executing, and evaluating all aspects of a drive-through vaccination event was developed by the University of Louisville through NIHS for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). This guide was successfully used to implement drive-through vaccination events for H1N1 in 2009 and COVID-19 in 2021. The guide is currently available free (kindle version) for communities on www.amazon.com.
