GEOTEK ALASKA INC

What GEOTEK ALASKA INC does

GeoTek Alaska, Inc. is a private, owner-operated subsurface investigation company headquartered at 2756 Commercial Dr, Anchorage, Alaska, founded in 2002 by principal partners. The firm delivers integrated environmental drilling, geotechnical services, direct-sensing contamination detection, geophysical surveys, and injection/remediation services to environmental consulting firms, engineering firms, construction companies, military installations (including Eielson AFB, Fort Wainwright, and JBER), and North Slope oilfield operators. In 2008 the company extended its footprint by opening a Hawaii office to serve Hawaii and the broader Pacific Rim, with documented project work reaching Kwajalein Atoll and Mt. Baker, Washington.

The company's underlying technology combines a Geoprobe and CME drill rig fleet (models including 6610DT, 6620DT, 7820DT, 7822DT, 8040DT, 8140LS, and CME75) executing direct push, sonic, hollow stem auger, air/mud rotary, and down hole hammer (DTH) methods, with real-time in-situ direct-sensing tools (UVOST, MIP, HPT, CPT, EC) for environmental contamination delineation. Geophysical survey capabilities cover Ground Penetrating Radar, Electromagnetic (EM-61), Magnetic (Mag G858), Radio Frequency, Seismic Refraction, and Sonde Pipe Locating data acquisition, processing, and interpretation. A key technical differentiator is the firm's specialized access capabilities — track, truck, aircraft-portable, helicopter-portable, indoor access, Arctic/North Slope oilfield lease, and offshore operations — which enable service delivery in remote and logistically constrained Alaskan environments where conventional contractors cannot operate.

GeoTek operates a B2B project-based professional services model, generating revenue from environmental drilling, geotechnical drilling, geophysical consulting, and remedial injection engagements. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; the company markets primarily through its interactive project portfolio map, industry reputation, and direct enterprise engagement with environmental, engineering, construction, government, and oil-and-gas clients. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors or funding history, and revenue figures are not publicly reported; the broader GeoTek Companies organization employs over 50 full-time staff across Alaska and Hawaii operations.

Core offering

GeoTek Alaska is a subsurface investigation company that provides drilling, direct sensing, geophysical, and injection/remediation services for the geotechnical, environmental, and construction communities throughout Alaska and the Pacific Rim. Its offering combines direct-push, sonic, rotary, and down-hole hammer drilling methods with UVOST, MIP, HPT, and CPT in-situ logging tools, GPR/EM/magnetic/seismic geophysical surveys, and ISCO/bioremediation injection services to extract high-quality soil, groundwater, and rock samples and characterize subsurface conditions in real time. Services are delivered via Geoprobe and CME drill rigs using multiple access modes (track, truck, helicopter-portable, Arctic/North Slope-capable) for environmental contamination delineation, geotechnical site characterization, and construction subsurface investigations.

Product overview

GeoTek Alaska is a subsurface investigation company providing integrated environmental, geotechnical, and geophysical services. The core offering combines drilling capabilities (using Geoprobe and CME drill rigs for direct push, sonic, rotary, and down hole hammer methods) with Direct Sensing technologies (UVOST, MIP, HPT) for real-time contamination detection, complemented by Geophysical Surveys (GPR, EM, Magnetic, Seismic) for non-intrusive subsurface mapping. Services span Environmental Drilling, Geotechnical Services, Injection/Remediation Services, and Field Screening Analysis, delivered throughout Alaska via multiple access methods including helicopter-portable and North Slope-capable operations.

Broad incumbents

• Tetra Tech: Global consulting and engineering firm providing environmental site assessment, geotechnical, geophysical, and remediation services across federal, oil & gas, and infrastructure clients. Overlaps directly with GeoTek's environmental and geotechnical drilling offerings at much larger scale.
• AECOM: Global infrastructure consulting firm with large environmental, geotechnical, and remediation practices serving defense, oil & gas, and transportation clients. Directly comparable in service portfolio though far broader in geographic and end-market reach.
• Boart Longyear: Global drilling services and products company serving mineral exploration, geotechnical, and energy markets. Comparable in core drilling capability, particularly in remote and arctic conditions, though substantially larger and equipment-focused.
• WSP USA (formerly Golder): Global engineering consultancy with deep geotechnical, environmental, and earth-sensing practices acquired through Golder Associates. Competes with GeoTek on large geotechnical and environmental site characterization projects, particularly in resource and infrastructure markets.
• Arcadis: International design and consultancy firm with significant environmental remediation, site assessment, and geotechnical capabilities serving energy, defense, and infrastructure clients. Comparable service overlap as a much larger multinational peer.

Emerging players

• SLR Consulting: Environmental and advisory consultancy with strong site investigation, remediation, and geotechnical practices acquired through consolidations of smaller U.S. firms. Comparable in subsurface and remediation services with growing U.S. footprint.

Direct peers

• Shannon & Wilson: U.S. geotechnical and environmental consulting firm specializing in subsurface investigation, drilling support, and seismic/geophysical services. Closely aligned with GeoTek's drilling, sampling, and geophysical survey offerings, particularly on transportation and infrastructure projects.
• Cascade Environmental Group: Direct-push and environmental drilling services provider using Geoprobe rigs for soil, groundwater, and soil gas sampling. Most direct peer on the drilling technology stack GeoTek specializes in, with similar reliance on DPT for site characterization.
• Haley & Aldrich: U.S. environmental and geotechnical engineering consultancy delivering subsurface investigation, drilling oversight, and site characterization for the same environmental, construction, and infrastructure clients as GeoTek Alaska. Highly comparable service mix with national scale.

Regional players

• R&M Engineering (Alaska): Alaska-based civil and geotechnical engineering firm providing site investigation and materials testing for Arctic and remote Alaska projects. Direct regional peer competing for the same Alaska-based environmental, geotechnical, and infrastructure clients.
