news issued today, first of this month. imo, i think it could gapup to beat a resistence at .06.

The nation's bridge infrastructure system is aging and needs extensive repair. There are approximately 600,000 bridges in the nation's inventory. 105,981 steel bridges are structurally deficient or functionally obsolete in important areas, according to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). These bridges are a rapidly developing natural disaster, collectively comprising almost $400 billion of repair liability, impending accidents, and potential disruption of the nation's ability to conduct commerce. For more details, see Bridge Data. For some unfortunate examples of bridge neglect, see Horror Stories.

In 1997 the US Government spent in excess of $5 billion to rehabilitate existing bridges. The need for increased spending accelerates significantly each year as the infrastructure ages and as inflation increases. Analysis by infrastructure economic experts, including the Federal Highway Administration, confirms that approximately $9 billion per year is the minimum required to maintain the status quo with presently used construction methods.

The US client base for EFS-based monitoring consists of the US Government, the 50 states and their local government agencies, 42 bridge authorities, 3 military agencies, and 48 railroads. Recognizing the problem of our aging surface transportation system, Congress has enacted legislation for its rehabilitation including the Intermodal Surface Transportation and Efficiency Act (ISTEA) in 1991 and the Transportation Equity Act (TEA-21) in 1998.

MATECH Corp. (OTCBB: MTCH) ("MATECH") is engaged in the research and development of metal fatigue detection, measurement, and monitoring technologies. Its mission is to apply its comprehensive system of technologies to monitor and measure metal fatigue cracks and crack growth.

MATECH's technology is designed to determine the fatigue status of a metal component in a wide variety of structures and equipment. This suite of technologies is composed of several products. See the Solutions Page. The Fatigue Fuse (FF) is a small, passive device that continuously monitors fatigue life at specific points in a structural member, revealing the accumulation of fatigue in that structural member over time. The Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor (EFS) is an instrument that detects cracks in the metal component of a structure. In the laboratory it can find cracks in metals at a resolution of a few microns, exceeding the current state of the art by ten times or more. Both devices are pioneering, cutting-edge solutions in the fatigue field. The Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor and the Fatigue Fuse monitor the most minute possible cracks in structural metal and the accumulation of metal fatigue, respectively, in metal components of structures.

MATECH's marketing focus is in the field of bridge inspections. However, MATECH technology is applicable to many other market sectors internationally, such as general aerospace, ships, cranes, power plants, nuclear facilities, chemical plants, mining equipment, and "heavy iron." All of these fields are subjects of MATECH's current marketing programs.

MATECH Official Meets With Virginia Department of Transportation
MATECH Official Meets With Virginia Department of Transportation
Apr. 5, 2010 (GlobeNewswire) --
LOS ANGELES, April 5, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MATECH Corp. (OTCBB:MTCH) (MATECH) announced that its Chief of Operations was invited to meet with officials from the Department of Transportation in Virginia (VDOT). Ms. Miceli met with officials at headquarters in Richmond, VA and the meeting was broadcast across the state to the various DOT districts.

Various officials across the state of Virginia participated in a presentation on MATECH's patented technology, the Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor (EFS) System and participated in a meeting on March 25, 2010. The intent of the meeting was to determine the structures within the VDOT system that would benefit from the use of EFS.

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.

Marybeth Miceli, MATECH's Chief of Operations, says, "VDOT is a progressive transportation department that supports great technologies to aid them in making better bridge management decisions. We are looking forward to working with them on their structures again."

.MATECH Corp.: Major Milwaukee Bridge Closed After Dangerous Cracks Found
Latest Example of America's Deteriorating Infrastructure Epidemic

LOS ANGELES, April 7, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A major Milwaukee bridge was shut down last week after failing a safety inspection during which large dangerous cracks were found. Wisconsin state officials shut it down promptly. The cracks, first discovered last autumn, have since increased in size and multiplied. More than 42,000 vehicles cross the bridge each day.



"This is yet another reminder that our nation's infrastructure is deteriorating and in serious need of repair," said Tony Cataldo, Chairman & CEO of MATECH Corp. (OTCBB:MTCH - News) (MATECH). "In addition, while these dangerous cracks were luckily found, approximately 90% of fatigue cracks are missed during traditional inspection and over 80% of "cracks" identified are later proved to be false positives. It is for this reason that reliable crack- detecting technologies like our Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor (EFS) must play a critical role in revitalizing America's infrastructure and protecting its citizens."



On America's aging highway system, 200,000 steel highway bridges must be inspected at least every other year. Considering the expensive and potentially disastrous failures of visual inspection, the need for an advanced, reliable, and inexpensive method of bridge inspection such as our EFS technology is increasingly apparent. With the only nondestructive method able to determine cracks as small as 0.01 inches, MATECH is positioned to become a leader in this vast, rapidly expanding, and increasingly important industry.

MATECH Corp.: Massachusetts Devotes $3 Billion to Repair State Bridges
Other States Pledge Similarly Significant Investment in Infrastructure


.Companies:Matech Corp..Press Release Source: MATECH Corp. On Thursday April 8, 2010, 8:30 am

LOS ANGELES, April 8, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Massachusetts Department of Transportation will devote $3 billion to repairing the state's deteriorating bridges over the next seven years. The program, known as the "Accelerated Bridge Program," is designed to rapidly revitalize the state's economy by improving transportation efficiency and commerce, while also creating jobs in the community.



The program will be funded by the Commonwealth's share of the $787 billion federal stimulus program signed by President Obama last year.



"When combined with our unprecedented Accelerated Bridge Program and federal stimulus projects, we are putting thousands of people to work and jumpstarting our economy as we rebuild our transportation infrastructure," said Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick.



"The Massachusetts Department of Transportation like others around the country understands that money spent revitalizing our infrastructure is both a short-term and a long-term investment in America's economic future," stated Tony Cataldo, Chairman & CEO of MATECH Corp. (OTCBB:MTCH - News) (MATECH). "We at MATECH look forward to continuing to work with the various state DOT's on their increased efforts to improve the safety and efficiency of our nation's bridges."



As the leader in bridge crack detection technology, MATECH is confident that such increases in bridge repair spending will translate into increased contracts using its revolutionary Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor (EFS) technology, the only non-destructive method able to detect growing cracks in bridges as small as 0.01 inches.

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MATECH Corp. (OTCBB:MTCH) (MATECH) announced today that its revolutionary Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor (EFS) provides the advanced objective reporting capability necessary to secure the nation’s infrastructure and thwart economic and humanitarian catastrophe. MATECH’s EFS system is the only nondestructive technology capable of detecting growing cracks as small as 0.01 inches in metal bridges and structures.

The most common method of bridge inspection is visual inspection, which relies on the subjective judgment of the inspector. Using this method 90% of fatigue cracks are missed, and 80% of identified “cracks” later prove to be false-positives, according to government reports. By taking the subjectivity out of the inspection process, MATECH’s EFS technology offers a unique technologically advanced solution compared to current unsafe and unreliable methods of bridge inspection.

“Subjective methods of inspection such as visual inspection are simply unreliable compared with advanced technological solutions like our EFS System,” said Tony Cataldo, CEO of MATECH Corp. “No matter how skilled and thorough an inspector, the possibility for human error is always too great. Experienced bridge inspectors have even called their own work into question, raising serious doubts about the validity and safety of current bridge inspection methods.”

Investigations by news organizations have found various discrepancies between identical forms composed during the inspection process and the forms later submitted to the state. Incorrect or missing measurements have also shown to be an issue.

MATECH's EFS™ has proven its efficacy on over 35 bridges in 10 different states across the nation, as well as several railroad bridges.
