Advanced Infrastructure Technologies
Advanced Infrastructure Technologies is attempting to commercialize the composite bridge contruction technology called, "bridge in a backpack," developed at UMaine's AEWC Advanced Structures & Composites Center. The technology involves hollow composite tubes that can be shipped in a bag to a construction site, inflated at the site, bent to any shape to fit the geometry of the site and infused with a resin to become rigid overnight.
In its first year, the company expects to construct as many as six bridges in maine, working with the Maine DOT and local contractors and engineering firms. After an initial incubation of five years, the company says it could employ more than 100 people, including engineers, technicians, manufacturing and sales and marketing personnel.
