Executive Director, Jefferson Harcourt said, “I’m delighted to execute the strategic agreement between GHD and Eco Detection. GHD is a global leader in its field and has recognised the importance of our technology. Its technical access expertise and market knowledge will help accelerate our growth locally and abroad.”
GHD’s Executive GM, Strategic Investments, Phil Bradley said,
“The need to clean up the waterways of the world is an urgent challenge but “if we can’t measure it, we can’t fix it”. In much of the world testing for nutrients and other harmful substances is manual and inefficient which produces suboptimal outcomes.
Eco Detection has tackled the environmental measurement challenge head on with an innovative solution with their self powered continuous monitoring “lab in the field”.
GHD are delighted to announce a strategic relationship with Eco Detection. Together we hope to expand the application of continuous monitoring of nutrients and other substances of concern. GHD has already assisted installations of the Eco Detection devices for clients in New Zealand and will shortly assist with installations in Victoria and Tasmania and beyond. GHD will provide strategic input to Eco Detection to assist with prioritisation of future developments and work together on advanced analytics solutions.
We commend what has been achieved by Eco Detection, its founder Grey Innovation Group Pty Ltd and their technology partner University of Tasmania. GHD are delighted to work closely with Wani Wall, Jefferson Harcourt, Phillip Fox and the rest of the Eco Detection team to help change the way water management is monitored and managed.”
