01
Drilling Site Preliminary Study
Before any drilling commences, our certified hydrogeologists carry out a comprehensive geophysical survey using resistivity and seismic methods to map subsurface water-bearing formations (aquifers). We identify the optimal drilling location, recommended depth and expected yield — maximising your success rate and eliminating unnecessary drilling costs. This study forms the scientific backbone of every successful borehole drilling in Nairobi & Kenya project we undertake.

Well Testing Services
After drilling, a rigorous well testing programme is conducted to characterise your aquifer and establish the safe, sustainable pumping rate. We carry out step-drawdown tests followed by constant-rate pumping tests over 24 to 48 hours, with automated data logging of water levels and discharge rates. The results are compiled into a formal well testing report required for WRA pump installation permit applications and long-term borehole management.

We had been struggling with water supply at our Kitengela farm for years. Prologic Technologies conducted a thorough site survey, handled all the WRA and NEMA paperwork, and had us drilling within three weeks. The borehole hit water at 85 metres with an impressive yield. They installed a solar pump and water tower and the system has been running perfectly for 18 months. Outstanding work from a professional team.

As the administrator of a secondary school in Thika, reliable water was non-negotiable. Prologic Technologies drilled our borehole during the August holidays, completed well testing and installed a submersible pump connected to elevated storage tanks in just over two weeks. We now have clean, reliable water for 800 students at a fraction of the annual cost we used to pay for water trucking. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

We hired Prologic Technologies for a borehole at our residential apartment block in South C, Nairobi. The city's hard rock geology made this a challenging drill — they went to 140 metres — but the team handled it expertly. The hydrological report was precise, the drilling was clean and efficient, and the water analysis results were excellent. Our tenants now have consistent water pressure 24/7. Best investment we've made.

Our NGO needed a borehole for a rural health centre in Makueni. Prologic Technologies was the only contractor we found who could handle the remote access, the licensing process and the technical complexity of the dry geology in that area. They completed the project on schedule, within budget and provided detailed documentation for our donor reports. The community now has their first reliable clean water source. Truly impactful work.

I had a submersible pump failure on an existing borehole at my flower farm in Naivasha. Prologic Technologies responded within 24 hours, pulled the pump, diagnosed a burnt motor and had a replacement Grundfos pump installed and running before end of day. Their solar pump repair team is equally impressive — fast, knowledgeable and fairly priced. I now use them exclusively for all borehole maintenance on my two farms.

We engaged Prologic Technologies to drill and equip three boreholes for our poultry processing plant in Athi River. The scale and water demand of our operation required precise hydrological planning. Their team delivered three high-yield boreholes, a full well testing report, water tower construction and a reticulation system — all completed within six weeks. The quality of workmanship and their post-installation support has been exceptional throughout.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions About Borehole Drilling in Nairobi & Kenya
Everything you need to know before starting your borehole project — from costs and timelines to licensing and water safety.
How much does borehole drilling in Nairobi cost?
The cost of borehole drilling in Nairobi varies depending on the depth required, site geology, casing type and pump system chosen. Shallow boreholes start from KES 350,000 while deeper, fully equipped installations for commercial or industrial use can range from KES 600,000 to KES 2,000,000+. Contact Prologic Technologies for a free, itemised site-specific quotation.
How long does a borehole drilling project take in Kenya?
A typical borehole project in Kenya takes 3 to 8 weeks from initial site survey to full commissioning. This includes the hydrological study (1 week), licensing through WRA and NEMA (1–3 weeks), equipment mobilisation, drilling and casing (3–7 days), pump installation and well testing (2–3 days). Complex projects or remote locations may take longer.
Do you handle WRA and NEMA licensing for borehole drilling?
Yes. Prologic Technologies manages the complete licensing process on your behalf — including Water Resources Authority (WRA) drilling permit applications, NEMA environmental impact assessments, hydrological reports and certified water analysis reports. Drilling without these permits is illegal in Kenya and our clients never have to navigate the process alone.
What depth can you drill a borehole in Nairobi and Kenya?
Our drilling rigs can reach depths of up to 300 metres. In Nairobi, most productive aquifers are typically found between 60 and 180 metres, depending on the specific location and underlying geology. A preliminary hydrological survey accurately determines the optimal target depth for your site before drilling commences — preventing unnecessary costs.
Can you install a solar-powered borehole pump system?
Absolutely. We supply, install and commission complete solar-powered submersible borehole pump systems including solar panels, MPPT controllers, float switches and mounting structures. Solar systems are ideal across Kenya where grid power is unreliable or unavailable, and offer dramatically lower running costs over their 15–25 year operational life compared to grid-powered equivalents.
What is a hydrological report and why do I need one?
A hydrological report is a technical document produced after a geophysical survey that maps subsurface water-bearing formations on your site. It identifies the best drilling location, recommended depth and estimated yield. It is a legal requirement for your WRA permit application and significantly improves drilling success rates by eliminating guesswork — potentially saving you hundreds of thousands of shillings in dry-hole costs.
What areas in Kenya do you cover for borehole drilling?
Prologic Technologies provides borehole drilling services across all 47 counties in Kenya. Our core markets include Nairobi, Kiambu, Kajiado, Machakos, Muranga, Nakuru, Nyandarua, Laikipia, Kisumu, Kisii, Meru, Embu, Mombasa, Kwale, Kilifi and more. Contact us to confirm team availability and mobilisation timelines for your specific location.
How do I know if my borehole water is safe to drink?
We conduct laboratory water analysis tests that check for bacterial contamination (E. coli, coliforms), chemical composition, pH, turbidity, fluoride levels, nitrates and heavy metals. Results are compared against Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) drinking water limits. Where treatment is required, we recommend and supply appropriate filtration, chlorination or reverse osmosis treatment systems.
What is well testing and why is it important?
Well testing is a controlled pumping programme conducted after drilling to measure your borehole's sustainable yield, aquifer recovery rate and transmissivity. Our team runs step-drawdown tests followed by constant-rate tests over 24–48 hours with automated data loggers. The resulting report is a mandatory requirement for your WRA pump installation permit and determines the correct pump size — preventing over-pumping that can permanently damage the aquifer.
Do you also repair existing boreholes and submersible pumps?
Yes. We provide comprehensive borehole rehabilitation services including pump pulling, motor rewinding, impeller replacement, riser pipe repairs, casing relining and borehole redevelopment for boreholes that have experienced reduced yields. Our pump repair team services all major makes including Grundfos, Lowara, Franklin Electric, Pedrollo and locally assembled submersible pumps. Emergency callouts are available with a 24–48 hour response time.
