Procedure Before Borehole Drilling

Before drilling a borehole, it is important to follow the correct process to ensure success and compliance with regulations:

• ✔ Site assessment and consultation
• ✔ Hydrogeological survey to determine water availability
• ✔ Borehole design and planning
• ✔ Obtaining necessary approvals and permits

Hydrogeological Survey

A hydrogeological survey is a critical step before drilling. It helps determine the availability, depth, and quality of underground water.

• ✔ Identifies the best drilling location
• ✔ Estimates depth and yield of the borehole
• ✔ Reduces risk of dry or low-yield boreholes

👉 A proper survey increases the chances of a successful and productive borehole.

Required Certification & Permits

Borehole drilling in Kenya requires compliance with water regulations. We guide you through the certification process to ensure your borehole is legally approved.

• ✔ Water Resources Authority (WRA) authorization
• ✔ Hydrogeological survey report approval
• ✔ Drilling permit
• ✔ Borehole completion report

Common Borehole Drilling Methods

Rotary Drilling

This is the most common method used in Kenya. It uses rotating drill bits and fluid to penetrate the ground.

• ✔ Suitable for most soil and rock formations
• ✔ Efficient and widely used

Percussion Drilling

This method uses repeated hammering to break the ground and reach water.

• ✔ Suitable for hard rock areas
• ✔ Reliable but slower than rotary drilling

Auger Drilling

Used in soft soils, this method uses a spiral drill to remove soil.

• ✔ Best for shallow boreholes
• ✔ Cost-effective in suitable conditions

Borehole Construction & Casing

After drilling, the borehole is lined with casing to prevent collapse and contamination.

• ✔ Installation of casing pipes
• ✔ Gravel packing for filtration
• ✔ Sealing to protect water quality

Pump Testing & Installation

Pump testing is carried out after drilling to determine the borehole’s yield and confirm the right pump size.

• ✔ Measures water output and recovery rate
• ✔ Helps select the correct pump capacity
• ✔ Ensures long-term performance and efficiency

👉 Proper pump testing ensures you install the right system for your water needs.

Why Choose Borehole Water?

• ✔ Reliable year-round water supply
• ✔ Reduces dependence on rainfall
• ✔ Supports irrigation and farming activities
• ✔ Long-term cost savings
