Geoveta

What Geoveta does

Geoveta AB is a privately held Swedish geoscience consulting firm founded in 2006 and headquartered in Sollentuna with a regional office in Kiruna. The company delivers field-based environmental and geotechnical services to Swedish municipalities, government agencies (notably Trafikverket), construction companies, developers, property owners, and quarrying operators, covering risk analyses, contaminated site investigations, soil and rock investigations, water and stormwater studies, building indoor environment assessments (radon, asbestos, PCB), climate adaptation and landslide assessments, permit applications, and Environmental Impact Assessments (MKB). The firm owns a GM 65 crawler drill rig (Valborrg) and deploys XRF and PID field instruments alongside accredited laboratory analysis, allowing self-performed sampling, sondering, CPT, groundwater pipe installation, and contamination screening without external subcontractors.

Geoveta's commercial model is project-based professional services sold through direct client engagement, with framework agreements (ramavtal) with multiple Stockholm-region municipalities serving as a recurring channel. Staff include Nordictest-certified environmental samplers, a PhD in quaternary geology, and specialists in ecotoxicology, marine geology, and GIS, with academic ties to Stockholms universitet and Lunds universitet producing peer-reviewed research. The firm is recognized as a 2018 Superföretag, placing it in the top promille of Swedish companies for profitability, growth, and financial stability, and in 2026 marked its 20th anniversary by launching its first own digital training course ('Grundläggande jordartsgeologi', 2,500 SEK), extending the business into scalable professional education.

Revenue model

1. Environmental and geotechnical consulting services: Geoveta generates revenue through professional consulting engagements in environmental and geotechnical science. Services include risk analyses, contaminated site investigations, geotechnical surveys, water and stormwater studies, permit applications, MKB (Environmental Impact Assessments), control programs, climate adaptation studies, and building indoor environment assessments. Revenue is project-based and fee-for-service, typical for specialized environmental consulting firms.
2. Digital and in-person training courses: Geoveta offers digital courses (e.g., basic soil geology at 2,500 SEK excl. VAT) and in-person training programs on topics such as water sampling, small wastewater systems, contaminated land sampling, soil/landscape science, and construction site introduction. Courses are offered as single lectures, half-day, or full-day sessions, available at Geoveta's premises, client sites, or in the field.
3. Drill rig rental (borrbandvagn): The company's owned drill rig (Valborrg) is available for hire for geotechnical or environmental investigations, providing an additional revenue stream through equipment rental alongside consulting services.
