IsoTruss Inc. (Springville, Utah, U.S.), an engineering, design and manufacturing services provider, has earned a $100,000 funding award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)’s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program. The Phase 1 award will be applied towards research and development (R&D) of a fiber-reinforced concrete foundation for the company’s carbon fiber lattice cell telecommunication towers— 12 times stronger than steel and offering 70% reduction in carbon emissions — to increase resiliency to natural disasters. Future entry into other applications such as roads, bridges and buildings is expected.
