What Geoprobe Systemså¨ does
Geoprobe Systems® (legally Kejr, Inc.) is a Salina, Kansas-based, privately held manufacturer founded in 1987 that designs and builds direct push, sonic, rotary, and geotechnical drilling rigs and an integrated tooling ecosystem for subsurface investigation. Its portfolio spans 15-plus drill rig models (8150LS and 8250LS sonic rigs, 7822DT and 3230DT combination rigs, 31-series geotechnical rigs, DM-series water well rigs under the DRILLMAX® sub-brand, and the 21FH foundation rig) alongside groundwater samplers, soil sampling systems, grout machines, and the proprietary Direct Image® logging tool family (MIP, OIP, HPT, CPT, NMR, PST). The company originated direct push technology and holds patents including US Patent 12,013,317 on a latching groundwater sampling system.
The business sells primarily through direct field sales with US Regional and International teams and a worldwide distributor network, supported by four factory-authorized service centers (Salina KS, Ocala FL, Oxford PA, Hickory NC). Revenue is generated through hardware sales of rigs and tooling, factory and field service and parts, and a used equipment program; pricing is quote-based with no public list prices. The Geoprobe Connect customer portal adds telemetry and service-record functionality, available on selected rigs.
Customers are drilling contractors and engineering firms operating across environmental site assessment, geotechnical investigation, water well and geothermal installation, exploration, and foundation/construction segments. The company positions direct push methods as reducing investigation costs by more than 50% versus conventional drilling by eliminating contaminated cuttings and reducing waste disposal, which can run 25%-50% of investigation budgets. Internationally, the company has a presence in Alaska (permafrost/glacial drilling) and serves customers through distributors abroad, though primary operating geography remains North America.
