MTCH see the gains it made a month ago
MTCH is a company that could provide safety for us all over the world. Bridges are everywhere!
Now imagine being on a bridge that suddenly collapses while you`re driving on it. The mere thought of this is incredibly scary in my opinion.
This is what happened to drivers in Minnesota back in 2007. A heavily traveled interstate bridge in Minneapolis, Minn., crumbled. This is a bridge that carried more than 140,000 cars daily!

Frightening huh
This is why
MTCH`s technology is critical. There are approximately 600,000 bridges in the nation`s inventory and according to the Federal Highway Administration, 105,981 steel bridges are structurally deficient or functionally obsolete in important areas!
This many bridges being structurally deficient is incredibly worrisome.
MTCH`s breakthrough Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor (EFS) is currently the only nondestructive method on the market able to detect growing cracks as well as subsurface cracks as small as 0.01 inches in steel bridges!!
This significantly surpasses the sensitivity of other inspection technologies.
MTCH 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.
By eliminating subjectivity of inspections for cracking in bridge members,
MTCH is helping to eliminate wasted funds by prioritizing repairs and providing immediate verification of their effectiveness.
Just look at the benefits of
MTCH`s system:
* Increases the safety of the infrastructure and the efficiency of bridge management through better and more timely fatigue crack detection.
* Replaces ?wait and see? approach by allowing immediate detection of growing cracks at known and unknown locations, as well as at repairs.
* More accurate assessment of condition ratings ? extends the life of the structure through early identification and repair of growing cracks.
* Determines which cracks need immediate attention and which repairs can be deferred or eliminated; helps bridge owners utilize repair and rehabilitation funds more effectively.
* Repairs/retrofits can be verified immediately ? no re-inspection needed..
Let me explain to you how
MTCH`s sensor works.
MTCH`s Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor is used to determine if actively growing fatigue cracks are present.
MTCH`s system is a nondestructive crack inspection technology that is similar in concept to a medical EKG.
If it`s important to see how our heart is doing deep inside, shouldn`t we know how bridges are doing
Bridges have thousands of cars drive on them every single day. As sturdy as they appear, they unfortunately may not be and the end result could be what happened in Minnesota!
MTCH`s EFS technology is based on proven electrochemical principles. When a bridge is under load, new metal is exposed at the tips of growing cracks; the metal oxidizes, producing a corrosion-like film.
With the EFS system, an electrochemical sensor is installed on a bridge surface which polarizes the inspection area. If, when the bridge is under load, new oxidation products form in the area of a growing crack, the sensor signal changes. A receiver senses the changes in signal frequency and magnitude, indicating that a growing crack exists.
MTCH`s EFS software then filters the data and summarizes the results graphically. Interpreting the results is similar to reading an EKG printout. By comparing the EFS inspection data to "normal" (no crack) EFS data, bridge inspectors can detect growing cracks and qualitatively assess their rate of growth.
Just last month the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge had a cable on its upper deck snap. 5,000 pounds of metal broke off a section of the bridge!
I can`t help but wonder if the incident that just happened in San Francisco could have been avoided if
MTCH`s technology was utilized.
We NEED a company like
MTCH if we want to avoid turning on the television to see news coverage all over talking about a bridge collapsing somewhere during rush hour traffic!
MTCH`s EFS has already proven its efficacy on over 35 bridges in 10 different states across the nation, as well as several railroad bridges!
Take a look at some of these pictures on
MTCH`s website just to see how scary a bridge collapse can be: http://www.matechcorp.com/horror_stories.html
MTCH is marketing its patented Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor (EFS) and other advanced crack-detection technologies to bridge asset managers, railroad companies, and governmental agencies across the United States and internationally.
MTCH expects to benefit significantly from the Federal Transportation Bill which is now expected to become law in early 2010.
This transportation plan, put forth by the Chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, Rep. Jim Oberstar (D-MN), would allocate $500 billion for the country`s crumbling infrastructure!
MTCH CEO Robert Bernstein commented, "The focus of this bill on improving bridge inspection and management will no doubt benefit MATECH, whose EFS technology allows bridge owners to significantly increase the cost effectiveness of their infrastructure decisions."
"We anticipate that the implementation of this federal transportation bill will result in a significant expansion of MATECH`s market presence, serving to substantially increase revenues generated from new contracts," he continued.For more information on
