Material Technologies announced this morning that its Chief Engineer, Dr. Brent Phares, has been invited to several upcoming engineering conferences to give technical presentations on the application of the Company’s Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor [EFS] system. After going through a comprehensive peer-review process, Material Technologies is certain there is substantial community interest in its EFS system.
The innovative EFS system can identify actively growing fatigue cracks in bridges and other metal structures with unparalleled precision. As stated by Dr. Brent Phares, “EFS gives bridge engineers information to know which conditions need immediate attention and which can be deferred. EFS allows a bridge owner to immediately know whether a repair has been successful or not in halting further fatigue damage.”
This June, the inspection system will be featured at the 7th International Conference on Steel Bridges, which will be held in Portugal. At this worldwide conference, the Company’s Chief Engineer will discuss how to enhance the inspection, maintenance and management of steel bridges with the Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor system.
In the same month the EFS system will be presented in Scotland at the Structural Faults and Repair conference. Dr. Phares is scheduled to give an oral presentation on the cost effectiveness as well as the safety improvements from EFS inspections.
Then in July, the Company will present its advanced device at Korea’s 4th International Conference on Bridge Maintenance, Safety, and Management. During this internationally attended conference, Dr. Phares will give a presentation on how to improve the inspection, maintenance and management of steel bridges with the Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor system.
