What to expect when drilling in Nairobi
Nairobi County sits on Nairobi trachyte, tuff and Athi series. That determines how we drill: our hydrogeologist first runs a geophysical resistivity survey to site the borehole on a fracture or aquifer with real recharge, rather than guessing from a neighbour's well.
Successful boreholes in this county are typically completed between 180 – 350 m. We drill with air rotary in hard formations and mud rotary in softer sedimentary ground, logging every strike depth and yield so your record of the well is truthful.
After drilling we case, screen, gravel-pack and develop the borehole, run a step-and-constant-rate test to establish a safe yield, then equip it with a correctly sized submersible or solar pump, tank and pipework. We serve homes, schools, churches, farms, hotels, NGOs and the county government throughout Nairobi CBD, Karen, Westlands, Embakasi, Ruai.
