Drilling a borehole in Kitui
Boreholes in Kitui are typically 100–250 m deep. A hydrogeological survey confirms the best drilling point and the expected depth and yield before any drilling starts.
Much of Kitui is underlain by ancient basement rocks such as gneiss and granite. Groundwater sits in the weathered layer and in fractures, so the yield depends on hitting the right fracture zone; a careful geophysical survey is the best protection against a dry or low-yield borehole. Some areas have hard or slightly salty water, which the water analysis will show.
Our rigs mobilise from Nairobi, about 180 km from Kitui, 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 Kitui County, including in Kitui, Mwingi, Mutomo and Kwa Vonza, for homes, farms, schools, estates and businesses.
