Pitchfest prize money will lay a solid foundation for FPrimeC Solutions, an Ottawa-based startup with a device that can predict the future for concrete structures.
The company’s prototype, Timeshift, uses high-frequency sound waves to gauge the condition and quality of concrete structures. The device can purportedly predict what concrete dams or bridges will look like in three years time, giving a heads up to any potential danger or required maintenance.
“There is nothing like our product in the market,” said co-founder Farid Moradi in a statement.
