Our services

Water Services

Hydrogeological investigations, aquifer testing, construction site dewatering, boreholes and water storage.

Overview

A borehole can give you a reliable, independent water supply, but only if it is properly sited, permitted, drilled, cased and maintained. Mistakes at any step can mean a dry hole, poor water or an expensive repair.

We handle the whole chain, from the hydrogeological survey and Water Resources Authority (WRA) approvals to drilling, pumps, storage tanks and towers, and ongoing maintenance.

Common questions

What approvals are needed for a borehole in Kenya?

Authorisation from the Water Resources Authority, supported by a hydrogeological survey report, before drilling, and a permit to use the water afterwards. Depending on the project, NEMA may also require an environmental assessment.
