Borehole Drilling in Kisii County
Hydrogeological survey, WRA permits, drilling, casing, test pumping and pump or solar installation in Kisii, delivered end to end by Dreamkings Limited.
Drilling a borehole in Kisii
Boreholes in Kisii are typically 50–150 m deep. A hydrogeological survey confirms the best drilling point and the expected depth and yield before any drilling starts.
Kisii is in the Lake Victoria basin, where granites, volcanic rocks and lake sediments meet. Good rainfall recharges the aquifers, and every borehole is tested for iron and other minerals before the water is used for drinking.
Our rigs mobilise from Nairobi, about 310 km from Kisii, and drilling rates here carry a 5% 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 Kisii County, including in Kisii, Ogembo, Suneka and Nyamache, for homes, farms, schools, estates and businesses.
