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 exciting part of my work," continues Mark, "will be to help deliver a new
class of data to consulting engineers, sewer utilities, and international
operators. The most significant data will include more accurate flow data for
use by hydraulic models; identification of specific locations of pipe joints for GIS
users; and the introduction of a new acceptance standard for pipe lining
projects that have gone virtually unchecked in certifying service re-connections
after rehabilitating sewer mains. I can't wait to work with our authorized dealers
to retrofit existing CCTV rigs and make Electro Scan a part of the Request for
Proposal process for new rigs, too."

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.

A member of the National Association of Sewer Service Companies (NASSCO)
and OSHA Certified for Confined Space Entry, Mark received his Bachelor of
Science in Mechanical Engineering and Construction Management in 2004 from
the University of Central Florida.
