LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - October 2, 2009) - MATECH Corp. (
MATECH and Northrop Grumman are working together to secure the nation's infrastructure and save bridge owners money from the cost of unnecessary and ineffective repairs. Currently, MATECH and Northrop Grumman are in discussions with several civil engineering firms, which are expected to result in significant project contracts.
MATECH's EFS technology is used to detect cracks in bridges and other structures. The technology has proven its efficacy on over 35 bridges in ten different states for various state DOTs (Departments of Transportation) as well as railroads throughout the United States. The cutting-edge technology is the only nondestructive method able to detect growing cracks in bridges as small as 0.01 inches.
"We are very pleased to report that several large civil engineering firms in the United States have shown significant interest in our EFS technology," said Robert Bernstein, CEO of MATECH. "We will continue to keep shareholders abreast of developments as they occur. We anticipate announcing significant contractual developments in the coming weeks."
