Hydrogeological survey, WRA permits, drilling, casing, test pumping and pump or solar installation in Kirinyaga, delivered end to end by Dreamkings Limited.
Drilling a borehole in Kirinyaga
Boreholes in Kirinyaga are typically 90–200 m deep. A hydrogeological survey confirms the best drilling point and the expected depth and yield before any drilling starts.
Kirinyaga 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 115 km from Kirinyaga.
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 Kirinyaga County, including in Kerugoya, Kutus, Sagana, Kagio and Wang'uru, for homes, farms, schools, estates and businesses.
