Drilling a borehole in Nakuru
Boreholes in Nakuru 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 Nakuru sits on volcanic rocks of the Rift Valley, where groundwater is held in fractured lavas, tuffs and old soil layers between lava flows. Yields are often good, but fluoride is common in Rift Valley aquifers, so the laboratory analysis decides whether the water needs treatment before drinking.
Our rigs mobilise from Nairobi, about 160 km from Nakuru.
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 Nakuru County, including in Nakuru, Naivasha, Gilgil, Molo, Njoro and Subukia, for homes, farms, schools, estates and businesses.
