Why Choose Borehole Drilling in Kenya?

Kenya faces water shortages due to irregular rainfall, drought, and an overstretched municipal water supply. Borehole drilling provides an efficient and long-term solution with several advantages:

1. Reliable Water Supply – Unlike municipal water, which may be inconsistent, a borehole provides a steady water source.

2. Cost-Effective – After the initial drilling and installation, maintenance costs are low compared to relying on water vendors.

3. Clean & Safe Water – Groundwater is naturally filtered, reducing contamination risks when properly constructed.

4. Suitable for Remote Areas – Boreholes can be drilled in rural and off-grid locations where piped water is unavailable.

5. Ideal for Agriculture & Industry – Farms, factories, and hotels can reduce operational costs by using borehole water.

The Borehole Drilling Process in Kenya

Professional borehole drilling follows a systematic approach to ensure efficiency, safety, and longevity. Here’s how we do it:

1. Hydrogeological Survey

Before drilling, a hydrogeological survey is conducted to assess groundwater availability. This involves:

• Studying geological maps

• Conducting geophysical surveys to locate water aquifers

• Determining the best drilling site

2. Drilling Process

We use modern rotary drilling rigs to bore into the ground. The depth varies (typically 50m–300m) depending on the water table.

3. Casing & Screen Installation

• Steel or PVC casings are installed to prevent collapse and contamination.

• Screens are placed at water-bearing zones to allow water in while keeping sediments out.

4. Development & Pumping Test

• The borehole is flushed to remove debris.

• A pumping test determines the yield (water flow rate) and sustainability.

5. Water Quality Testing

Samples are sent to a lab to check for contaminants (e.g., fluoride, salinity, bacteria).

6. Pump Installation & Power Setup

• Submersible pumps (solar or electric) are installed.

• Storage tanks and piping are set up for distribution.

7. Maintenance & Aftercare

Regular servicing ensures optimal performance and longevity.
