The Engineering Research and Development Center (ERDC), Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) in Alaska has a requirement for gravel loading of lake ice throughout the 2026 winter season in support of data collection for a terrestrial ice project.

Mission and Background:

CRREL engineers are involved in the development of an application that would allow accurate characterization of the strength of ice.

CRREL seeks the collection of novel and appropriate data for in-house analysis.

The Contractor shall perform the loading of the ice, and CRREL personnel will be onsite during the ice loading iterations to take measurements.

Scope:

The contractor shall perform up to three (3) lake ice loading iterations throughout the winter season as the ice progressively thickens. There will be three tests that shall occur at each of the following approximate lake ice thicknesses: 4”, 6” to 8”, 10” to 12”, 16” to 18”, 20” to 24”, and 26” to 30”. The tests will consist of one impact strength, one elastic loading (dynamic), and one visco-elastic loading (stationary) test during each ice thickness period. The Contractor shall provide all machinery, gravel, and facilities to perform the loading of ice.

Additional requirements exist and can be found in the Performance Work Statement (PWS).

FS&G Aggregate supplied and placed the gravel for the initial phase of ice load testing conducted during the 2024 winter season at its Fairbanks, Alaska facility, where the test site characteristics—including lake geometry, water depth, gravel material, and placement methodology—were established and documented.

Continuation of testing under identical site conditions is essential to ensure the tech...
