Borehole Drilling in Nandi County
Hydrogeological survey, WRA permits, drilling, casing, test pumping and pump or solar installation in Nandi, delivered end to end by Dreamkings Limited.
Drilling a borehole in Nandi
Boreholes in Nandi are typically 60–150 m deep. A hydrogeological survey confirms the best drilling point and the expected depth and yield before any drilling starts.
Nandi 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 320 km from Nandi, 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 Nandi County, including in Kapsabet, Nandi Hills, Mosoriot and Kabiyet, for homes, farms, schools, estates and businesses.
