Drilling a borehole in Elgeyo-Marakwet
Boreholes in Elgeyo-Marakwet are typically 80–200 m deep. A hydrogeological survey confirms the best drilling point and the expected depth and yield before any drilling starts.
Elgeyo-Marakwet lies in the volcanic highlands, where rain on the surrounding hills and mountains recharges aquifers in weathered and fractured volcanic rock. Water levels can change sharply between ridges and valleys, so choosing the drilling point matters as much as the depth.
Our rigs mobilise from Nairobi, about 330 km from Elgeyo-Marakwet, and drilling rates here carry a 10% regional adjustment for terrain and logistics.
Dreamkings Limited handles the whole job: the survey, WRA drilling authorisation, drilling, casing and gravel pack, well development, test pumping, water quality analysis, and the pump, power and storage you choose.
We drill boreholes across Elgeyo-Marakwet County, including in Iten, Kapsowar, Chepkorio and Tambach, for homes, farms, schools, estates and businesses.
