Borehole Drilling in Siaya County
Hydrogeological survey, WRA permits, drilling, casing, test pumping and pump or solar installation in Siaya, delivered end to end by Dreamkings Limited.
Drilling a borehole in Siaya
Boreholes in Siaya are typically 50–150 m deep. A hydrogeological survey confirms the best drilling point and the expected depth and yield before any drilling starts.
Siaya 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 400 km from Siaya, and drilling rates here carry a 10% 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 Siaya County, including in Siaya, Bondo, Ugunja, Usenge and Yala, for homes, farms, schools, estates and businesses.
