What Geotek Hawaii, Inc. does

GeoTek Hawaii, Inc. is a privately-held geoscience services firm headquartered in Waipahu, Hawaii, that specializes in subsurface data acquisition for environmental and geotechnical professional communities. Core capabilities span direct push drilling (Geoprobe 420M, 6600 Series, Foremost Mobile B-59 rigs), geophysical survey services (EM-31, EM-61, magnetometer, ground penetrating radar, seismic refraction), continuous soil and groundwater sampling using Macro-Core and Screen Point systems, monitoring well installation, and in-situ detection via Membrane Interface Probe (MIP) and UVOST laser-induced fluorescence tools. The firm also offers in-situ injection and bioremediation using ORC and HRC compounds, plus a rental equipment operation that stocks environmental sampling gear locally in Hawaii to avoid mainland shipping delays. Service offerings are organized around the Triad approach—systematic planning, dynamic work strategies, and real-time measurement—to accelerate hazardous waste site characterization and remediation decisions.

The company is owned and operated by principals Kevin Rogers (President), Scott Vojta (Vice President), and Chris Nettels (Chairman of the Board). Revenue is generated through project-based, quote-priced professional services contracts with environmental consulting firms, geotechnical engineering companies, and federal, state, and local government agencies, primarily on Oahu, Hawaii. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and relationship-driven, with the corporate website and direct contact ([email protected], 808-223-9810) serving as primary channels. The firm competes on local expertise, equipment breadth, and the ability to bundle drilling, geophysical, and remediation services under one provider.

The business is small (11-50 employees), bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding, and operates in a geographically constrained market. No acquisitions, partnerships, awards, patents, or leadership changes are disclosed in the available material; strategic activity is observable only through incremental equipment additions and service-line expansions. No AI/ML, software, or API products are part of the offering—technology here refers strictly to physical instrumentation and field methodology rather than algorithmic differentiation.
