Why Drill a Borehole in Katani?

Katani has become one of the fastest-growing residential areas near Nairobi. As more developments come up, the demand for a consistent water supply continues to increase. A professionally drilled borehole offers long-term water security for domestic, commercial, agricultural, and industrial use.

Benefits include:

• Reliable water throughout the year
• Reduced dependence on municipal water
• Lower long-term water costs
• Continuous water supply for apartments and estates
• Reliable water for schools and hospitals
• Water for irrigation and landscaping
• Increased property value
• Emergency water supply during shortages
• Sustainable water source for commercial developments

A well-constructed borehole can serve a property for many years with proper maintenance.

Hydrogeological Survey

Before drilling begins, a hydrogeological survey is conducted to determine the best drilling location and estimate the expected groundwater potential.

The survey evaluates:

• Geological formations
• Underground aquifers
• Groundwater availability
• Estimated drilling depth
• Expected borehole yield
• Water quality considerations
• Recommended drilling point

The findings are documented in a hydrogeological report, which also supports permit applications where required.

Borehole Drilling Process

Once approvals are in place, our drilling team mobilises specialised equipment to the site.

The drilling process includes:

• Site preparation
• Rig mobilisation
• Rotary drilling
• Geological logging
• Air compressor drilling where necessary
• Aquifer identification
• Depth verification
• Borehole cleaning during drilling

The drilling depth depends on the geological conditions identified during the survey and the depth of productive aquifers.

Borehole Casing Installation

After drilling reaches the target depth, durable casing pipes are installed to support the borehole walls and protect the water source.

We install:

• Heavy-duty PVC casing
• Steel casing
• Slotted borehole screens
• Blank casing sections

Benefits include:

• Structural stability
• Prevention of borehole collapse
• Reduced contamination
• Longer borehole lifespan
• Improved pumping efficiency

Gravel Packing

Clean, graded gravel is placed around the borehole screens to improve filtration and stabilise the surrounding geological formation.

Advantages include:

• Improved water flow
• Reduced sand production
• Better water quality
• Protection of the borehole screen
• Increased borehole efficiency

Borehole Development

Following casing installation, the borehole is developed to remove drilling fluids, fine particles, and loose sediments.

Development techniques include:

• Air lifting
• Jetting
• Surging
• High-volume pumping

This process improves the productivity of the borehole and prepares it for long-term operation.

Test Pumping

Test pumping determines the sustainable yield of the borehole and helps in selecting the appropriate pumping equipment.

Measurements include:

• Static water level
• Dynamic water level
• Pumping rate
• Recovery rate
• Sustainable yield
• Pumping duration

These results are essential when sizing the submersible pump and designing the water distribution system.

Water Quality Testing

A water sample is collected and analysed to determine whether treatment is required before use.

Testing commonly includes:

• pH
• Iron
• Manganese
• Fluoride
• Salinity
• Nitrates
• Total dissolved solids
• Hardness
• Bacterial analysis

Based on the results, we recommend suitable water treatment systems where necessary.
