Los Angeles, CA - January 22, 2008
--Material Technologies Inc. (OTCBB:
MTTG -News;
"MATECH") Los Angeles, CA provided inspection
services to CalTrans using their patented Electrochemical Fatigue
Sensor (EFS) System. The inspected structure is a fracture
critical bridge located in West Sacramento, CA that has been
repaired and retrofitted. Inspection results are being used
to determine which of the existing cracks are growing, if there
are other locations which contain cracks previously undocumented,
and whether the repairs and retrofits installed on the bridge
are working properly, that is, not exhibiting any crack growth.
This information can be used to prioritize repair funds as
well as verify the efficacy of those repairs and repair methods.
The inspection was completed on December 12, 2007, with a dozen
CalTrans representatives present. Results will be presented
to officials to determine further uses of EFS across the state.
Robert M. Bernstein, MATECH's CEO, says, "MATECH continues
to provide DOT's (state departments of transportation) with invaluable
information never available before. More and more DOT's are becoming
familiar with the technology and requesting inspections. They
are using the inspection results to make better bridge management
decisions."
