Case Studies
California, USA
A geotechnical consulting firm deployed Soil Ground Testing’s automated falling head permeability system to assess infiltration rates for a floodplain restoration project in Sacramento. The real-time data integration with GIS platforms helped expedite the permitting process and informed sustainable water management solutions.
Texas, USA
A major infrastructure contractor used Soil Ground Testing’s modular soil permeability apparatus for multiple highway drainage evaluations across rural Texas. With cloud-based reporting, the client was able to standardize their soil logs across different regions and improve project delivery timelines.
Ontario, Canada
An environmental engineering firm in Ontario utilized our falling head testing system for groundwater flow analysis near a brownfield redevelopment site. With remote cloud access and digital logging, the team could monitor ongoing trends in real-time, ensuring regulatory compliance throughout the project lifecycle.
