Service Area

Headquartered on the Big Island of Hawai‘i, Kilauea Consulting provides engineering and construction management services across the Pacific Rim. A geologically dynamic region shaped by active plate tectonics, persistent seismic forces, and the vast Pacific Ocean. Our expertise is rooted in delivering pragmatic solutions in environments where land, sea, and communities coexist.
This work requires disciplined and culturally aware execution amid complex logistics, regulatory frameworks, and diverse stakeholder environments. We approach each project with technical rigor, environmental sensitivity, and respect for the communities we serve.

Focused on the Pacific Rim

California

Vastness and Diversity

California is one of the largest, most diverse, and densely populated regions in the country. The state’s highly varied geology, from coastal plains and alluvial valleys to mountain ranges and active fault zones, demands adaptable technologies and rigorous engineering solutions. Infrastructure must be designed to perform under the combined influences of earthquakes, wildfires, flooding, and increasingly volatile climate conditions.

We deliver site-specific, pragmatic geotechnical solutions that address California’s scale, economic complexity, and evolving risk profile.

Hawaii

Respect the ʻāina

As the most isolated island chain on the planet, Hawai‘i’s diverse geology, shaped by volcanic processes, steep terrain, and coastal influences, demands site-specific, resilient, and logistically practical engineering solutions. Equally important is respect for cultural practices, ancestral lands, and community values, as engineering decisions often intersect with the stewardship of the ʻāina. Our approach integrates rigorous geotechnical analysis with cultural awareness, environmental sensitivity, and collaborative engagement. We recognize that successful projects in Hawai‘i must honor both place and the people who call it home.

Guam and Pacific Islands

Remoteness

Providing geotechnical engineering consulting services in Guam and other Pacific islands requires operating in some of the most remote and resource-constrained environments in the region. Distance, limited material availability, and complex logistics demand practical, resilient engineering solutions. These challenges are intensified by frequent exposure to typhoons, heavy rainfall, coastal flooding, and other extreme weather events that place continuous stress on infrastructure. Our work in the Federated States of Micronesia and Indonesia reflects firsthand experience in environments where remoteness, environmental forces, and limited resources converge — requiring disciplined engineering judgment and adaptability.

Licensure and Regional Expertise

Our licensed Professional Engineers maintain active registrations in California, Hawai‘i, Guam, Connecticut, Florida, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington, enabling us to support clients across multiple jurisdictions in accordance with state-specific requirements.
