Los Angeles, CA-October 14, 2009
- MATECH Corp.
(OTC Bulletin Board: MTCH
- News)
is pleased to announce that the Company's COO, Marybeth Miceli,
was asked to present at the Department of Homeland Security's
Aging Infrastructure Conference. The Conference was held
at Columbia University, covering structure security, structural
health monitoring, and asset management. Related
Ms. Miceli's presentation covered the hazard of fatigue to
steel infrastructure and the means and methods of using advanced
technologies to detect and monitor this hazard. She also
briefly covered the FHWA's efforts in their Steel Bridge
Testing Program to evaluate the technologies specifically
tailored to this type of bridge damage.
Ms. Miceli presented
information on MATECH's leading technology, the Electrochemical
Fatigue Sensor(TM) (EFS) System and its capabilities to determine
whether existing cracks on bridges are actively growing and
to detect growing cracks indiscernible by conventional methods.
She also discussed the importance of using this technology
to verify retrofits and repairs for bridge owners.
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.
Robert
M. Bernstein, CEO of MATECH, stated: "We are very pleased
that the Department of Homeland Security is taking such an
interest in our aging infrastructure, as well as advanced
technologies, like our EFS system, needed to determine their
viability. Ms. Miceli's presentation was able to effectively
communicate why cutting-edge technologies like our EFS are
so critical to keeping the American public safe, while at
the same time safeguarding taxpayers' dollars." About
