Tue, November 17, 2009 MATECH in Discussions With Major Transportation Agency Regarding Year-Long Bridge Monitoring Program
LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - November 17, 2009) - MATECH Corp. (
Multiple cracking locations have already been indentified on the bridge. The bridge had recently been restricted to truck traffic during peak hours, and has been undergoing major retrofit installations. MATECH's revolutionary EFS System will be used to check these damaged and retrofitted areas.
"We are very pleased to announce yet another potential long-term contract to company shareholders," said Robert M. Bernstein, Co-CEO of MATECH. "We anticipate that the results of the program will represent still another example of the effectiveness and inherent value of our EFS technology."
MATECH has a proven track record of saving bridge owners money through improving bridge management and public safety with its cutting edge technology, the EFS System. Through eliminating subjectivity of inspections for cracking in bridge members (the FHWA has stated that 90% of these cracks are missed with visual inspection), MATECH is helping to eliminate wasted funds by prioritizing repairs and verifying their effectiveness immediately.
