Mark Grabowski Joins Electro Scan Inc.
As Vice President of Municipal Markets

Wastewater Veteran Helps Adapt Patent Pending Technology into New & Existing CCTV Trucks to Deliver Next Generation Sewer Leak Detection

SACRAMENTO, Calif., June 4, 2012 – Electro Scan Inc. today announced that industry veteran Mark Grabowski has joined the Company as its Vice President of Municipal Markets. Formerly with Aries Industries, a leading manufacturer of CCTV equipment and truck assemblies, Mark will direct the development and rollout of the Company’s ES-620 for Sewer Mains^TM designed for 6-20” (76-200mm) pipe diameters and ES-2060 for Sewer Mains^TM designed for 20-60” (150-450mm) pipe diameters. Both products represent an add-on technology to new and existing CCTV trucks.

Mark Grabowski will be on hand at the Water Environment Federation (WEF) Collection Systems Conference that begins today in St. Louis, MO to discuss the company’s new products.

“I’m delighted to be taking sewer leak detection to the next level,” stated Mark Grabowski, Electro Scan’s VP of Municipal Markets. “Despite recent advancements in CCTV cameras, the industry has always understood the limitation of using coding standards for visual observations to catalog leaks. You just can’t effectively find or quantify leaks using visual inspection.”

The company is currently shipping its ES-38 for Sewer Laterals^TM used by commercial plumbers and municipal agencies to find leaks in service lines and laterals from 3-8” (76-200mm) in pipe diameter. The product is already part of major municipal Service Lateral Programs. It’s ES-620 for Sewer Mains^TM used for 6-20” (150-450mm) in pipe diameter will be available for customer shipment this October at the New Orleans WEFTEC.
where the Company is a Platinum Sponsor.

Electro Scan represents a breakthrough in sewer leak detection. Its patent pending technology finds leaks by measuring the variation of electricity passing through defects in non-conductive pipes (e.g. brick, cement, plastic, reinforced concrete, pipe lining resins, etc.), in accordance with the
American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard F2550-06.

“I am delighted to have Mark on board,” stated Chuck Hansen, Electro Scan’s Chairman and CEO. “Mark immediately saw the benefit of making Electro Scan an integral part of new and existing CCTV rigs. Combining Mark’s expertise inside CCTV trucks with my background delivering data to comply with CMOM, GIS, and Hydraulic Modeling data standards, is a winning team.“

Prior to joining Electro Scan, Mark Grabowski served as Product Manager and Project Engineer at Aries Industries, where he was in charge of product management for pipeline rehabilitation and inspection products. As part of his responsibilities, Mark managed the complete life cycle of several products, including a camera system certified intrinsically-safe in accordance with Class I, Division I, Group D standards for live inspection of gas mains, a class-leading lateral launching and inspection system, and the only pan & tilt push camera system on the market. Mark also advised large strategic accounts in the U.S. and abroad.

Before joining Aries, Mark worked as Water and Wastewater Project Manager at C.W. Purpero, Inc. (Milwaukee, WI), where he was involved with numerous underground infrastructure projects, including design & construction of flood/runoff control systems, lift stations, and innovative pollutant removal systems. Additional projects included the installation of major water, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, and force main systems utilizing both open cut and trenchless technology methods.
