THE BOREHOLE PROCESS
Site Survey and Hydro-Geological Assessment
Our process starts with a comprehensive site evaluation. Using cutting-edge hydrogeological methods and equipment, we:
- Map subsurface formations and identify potential aquifers
- Measure soil permeability and groundwater depth
- Assess site accessibility and environmental factors
This data-driven survey ensures we select the optimal drilling location and depth; minimizing risk, reducing costs, and maximizing long-term water yield.
Processing of Statutory Authorisations
We manage the entire regulatory process on your behalf, securing all the necessary approvals and permits from key authorities, including the Water Resources Authority (WRA), the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA), and relevant county offices.
This stage includes:
- Preparation and submission of hydrogeological survey reports and Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs)
- Liaising with government agencies for permit processing
- Ensuring all documentation meets current legal and technical standards
Our experience with regulatory bodies ensures a smooth approval process, helping your project stay on schedule and fully compliant from the outset.
Borehole Drilling
Using state-of-the-art rotary and percussion drilling rigs, our skilled teams carry out professional borehole drilling to access clean, reliable groundwater.
This stage includes:
- Mobilization of equipment and personnel
- Accurate drilling based on hydro-geological data
- Installation of casing and gravel packing for borehole integrity
- Well development and flushing to enhance yield
We prioritize safety, efficiency, and technical accuracy throughout the process, ensuring the borehole is built to last and deliver optimal water output.
Borehole Equipping
In this phase, we fully outfit your borehole with all essential components to ensure efficient and reliable operation:
- Submersible Pump Installation: Precision mounting of the pump unit at the correct depth for maximum yield
- Electrical Systems Setup: Wiring, power connections, and safety grounding tailored to your site conditions
- Control Panel Integration: Installation of automated controls for pressure management, level monitoring, and system protection
- Piping & Plumbing: High-quality pipework and fittings for uninterrupted water flow and easy maintenance
Our expert technicians meticulously configure each element, perform system tests, and fine-tune settings—so your borehole delivers consistent water supply from day one.
Test Pumping
At this stage, we conduct controlled pumping tests to determine your borehole’s actual performance and water sustainability. This includes:
- Yield Testing: Measuring the volume of water the borehole can produce over time
- Recovery Rate Assessment: Monitoring how quickly the water level replenishes after pumping
- Water Quality Sampling: Collecting and analyzing water for key parameters such as turbidity, pH, conductivity, and bacterial presence
The data gathered ensures that the borehole is fit for its intended use and provides a scientific basis for pump sizing, storage planning, and system design. All findings are compiled in a detailed report, often required for final regulatory approvals.
Storage Solutions
Once the borehole is operational, we install tailored storage systems to ensure consistent water availability and pressure. Depending on your usage requirements, location, and site conditions, we offer:
- Elevated Plastic Tanks: For gravity-fed supply
- Ground-Level Steel or Plastic Tanks: For easy access and maintenance
- Concrete or Underground Reservoirs: For high-capacity and long-term storage
Each system is designed to integrate seamlessly with your borehole, ensuring safe, efficient, and reliable water storage that supports both domestic and commercial needs.
Energy Solutions
To guarantee uninterrupted water supply, we provide customized energy solutions tailored to your site’s power availability and consumption needs. Our offerings include:
- Solar-Powered Systems: Ideal for off-grid or cost-sensitive environments
- Hybrid Configurations: Combine solar and grid power for flexibility
- Mains-Connected Electric Setups: With optional backup systems for reliability
We design and install complete energy systems, including solar panels, inverters, controllers, and protective components—ensuring your borehole runs efficiently, sustainably, and with minimal operational cost.
Water Purification & Treatment
We install customized purification and treatment systems to ensure your borehole water meets the required standards, whether for domestic, agricultural, commercial, or industrial use. Our solutions are based on water quality analysis and may include:
- Sediment Filtration: Removing particles and turbidity
- UV Sterilization & Chlorination: Eliminating pathogens
- Reverse Osmosis & Carbon Filtration: Improving taste, clarity, and chemical balance
- Water Softeners: Controlling minerals in hard water areas
Each system is selected and installed to suit your specific water source, usage patterns, and safety requirements—ensuring a reliable supply of clean, compliant water.
Other Borehole Services
Our work doesn’t stop at installation. We offer a full suite of post-drilling services to ensure your borehole continues to operate efficiently and safely. These include:
- Routine Maintenance & Servicing: Regular checks, pump servicing, and system tune-ups
- Rehabilitation Works: Cleaning, re-casing, or re-drilling to restore performance in aging or blocked boreholes
- Camera Inspections: High-resolution imaging to assess borehole structure, detect faults, or verify integrity
- Water Quality Analysis: Laboratory testing to monitor potability, mineral levels, or contamination
- System Upgrades: Modernizing older installations with newer, more efficient components
These services help extend the life of your borehole, safeguard water quality, and ensure compliance with regulatory standards over time.
