Case Studies
Case study 1: Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (USA)
Eco Gov Test partnered with state officials to deploy our system across multiple brownfield redevelopment zones in Detroit. The sensors provided real-time contamination data, enabling cost-effective cleanup prioritization. The solution reduced manual testing time by over 60%.
Case study 2: Sonoma County Agriculture Commission (USA)
In wine-growing regions, our soil detection system was implemented to monitor pesticide residues and soil pH across 30+ vineyards. The system provided early warning of contamination, ensuring compliance with California environmental safety standards and improving yield quality.
Case study 3 : Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (Canada)
Eco Gov Test's platform was integrated into a government-led initiative in Ontario to assess the long-term impacts of urban runoff on agricultural lands. The AI-powered dashboard was instrumental in providing monthly soil health reports used in policymaking.
