Drilling a borehole in Vihiga
Boreholes in Vihiga are typically 50–150 m deep. A hydrogeological survey confirms the best drilling point and the expected depth and yield before any drilling starts.
Vihiga 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 360 km from Vihiga, 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 Vihiga County, including in Mbale, Luanda, Majengo and Chavakali, for homes, farms, schools, estates and businesses.
