Instrument Design & Repairs
Custom builds, installation, and servicing for harsh environments.
Polar research demands more than off-the-shelf gear. Instruments must be rugged, adaptable, and able to function reliably in freezing temperatures, high winds, and remote conditions. At Kolibri Geo Services, we design, build, modify, and repair scientific equipment for use in the field—with a strong emphasis on durability and real-world function.

Custom Instrument Design
We work closely with researchers to develop custom solutions tailored to specific field needs. Whether you’re setting up monitoring stations, deploying sensors, or building one-off prototypes, we create instrument setups that are compact, tough, and reliable.
-
Installation & Integration
We don’t just build—we install. We ensure your instruments are properly mounted, connected, and calibrated on-site, and help integrate them into existing infrastructure or data systems. We also provide documentation and advice on field maintenance.

Repairs & Field Servicing
When something breaks in the field, we help get it working again. From soldering and wiring to structural repairs, we can troubleshoot and fix equipment on location—or bring it back to our workshop in Longyearbyen for more extensive work.

Workshop Capabilities
Our workshop includes mechanical and electrical tools for welding, fabrication, and assembly. We work with steel, aluminum, and stainless steel, and build everything from sensor housings to custom brackets and enclosures.
