What we do
We guarantee you top of the class service and professionalism.
POSITION OF THE BOREHOLE
The position of the bore should be based on the best prospects for obtaining a successful supply and on working convenience. The bore site should allow ready access for heavy machinery for drilling and subsequent servicing of the bore and pumping equipment. Permit rules Well permits may require that a bore should be located not less than a specified distance from a property boundary and/or from a bore on a neighbouring property, channel, stream, or source of pollution such as a septic tank. This requirement is to minimise the possibility of interfering with the flow and water levels in nearby bores.
SITE SELECTION
This is controlled by a General Specification document designed to protect the consumer, and to ensure that certain minimum standards of construction are maintained. We guarantee the construction of our wells for two months after completion. Important aspects of well construction: Casings and Screens Adequate lengths of casing must be used to prevent collapse of the well and pollution by surface run off. Where a major corrosion problem is known to exist then casing should be of inert material such as PVC or fibreglass (FRP) pipe. In loose sand, wire screens of stainless steel or slotted casing should be used with a gravel pack. Headworks Completed wells must be capped in such a manner that undesirable surface material cannot enter the well. Where the well is artesian, headworks must be designed to prevent the water running to waste when not in use.
CEMENTING
This is used in well construction to provide a seal between the casing and the walls of the hole, preventing polluted surface water from entering the well between the hole wall and the casing. In many areas it is essential that the casing be properly cemented in the well over its entire length. This protects the casing from corrosion and prevents contamination of a fresh water aquifer by an overlying saline one. It can also prevent loss of fresh pressure water by upward leaking behind the casing.
WELL DEVELOPMENT
Well development involves the process of cleaning out the well after the completion of drilling. Compressed air is used and this increases the permeability of adjacent aquifer material so that water can flow freely through it. It also stabilises sands around screened wells so that water pumped from the well is free of sand. Development is essential to the proper completion of every water well. Proper testing of a well is also essential to its efficient operation and is the only sound basis for selection of a suitable pump. High pumping costs and unsatisfactory pump performance can often be traced to the selection of an inappropriate pump. It is recommended that the development pump supplier carry out the well test immediately after construction and development of the well. At the completion of each well we will‘air lift’ the well to ensure that the well is fully developed and that the water supply is clean and free of suspended solids or rock chips.
DEVELOPMENT
During well development our team will conduct water flow tests to calculate the yield of the well at various depths. Salinity tests are also conducted to determine the suitability of the water. On completion of the well the standing water level and total hole depth are also recorded. All this information is then collected and compiled in a detailed well construction report, which is given to the client. This information is vital when selecting the correct pump to suit your well.
The company has undergone planned and steady growth, and currently operates the most modern and technically advanced fleet of drilling rigs in Kenya.
WELL DRILLING, INSPECTION & ABANDONMENT
Well water has a number of financial, health and environmental benefits for your residence or business. Having a water well is a long-term investment that saves you money over a monthly water usage bill from the city. Our knowledgeable experts can provide you with an on-site estimate and walk you through the process.
WE CAN DRILL 4” TO 12” DIAMETER WELLS FOR HOMES, IRRIGATION, COMMERCIAL, MUNICIPAL, AND INDUSTRIAL USES.
Abandoned or unusable wells can be a hazardous issue if left unchecked. That’s why you can rely on us to properly handle sealing unusable wells. If you have a water well and you’re uncertain if it’s usable, we can inspect the well and give you an assessment, as well as test the water quality to ensure it’s safe to use.
WATER SYSTEM INSTALLATION & REPAIR
We offer repairs, service and replacement of your residential, commercial, or industrial water system. Our knowledgeable experts come on-site to diagnose any issue you may be having, and provide an estimate for repairs. Emergency services are also available. We service all major brands of pumps.
While we are focused on cost efficiency, we don’t sacrifice quality for speed or price. We use brands that have stood the test of time, and modern technology that will protect your equipment and keep utility costs low, such as the new Variable Frequency Drives.
