Requirements for drilling a borehole in Kitui.

Before drilling a borehole, there are various requirements needed. It's essential to adhere to these requirements for a smooth and compliant drilling project.

Hydrogeological survey

A hydrogeological survey is the first step when drilling a borehole. In this stage, we send our geologists to study the geological conditions and locate the most suitable location to drill the borehole. They use an ultra-modern 3D tetrameter that finds the highest-yielding site in real-time. The cost of a hydrogeological survey ranges between KES 60,000 to KES 70,000.

Permits and licenses

After conducting the survey, we write a detailed report- we use this report to apply for permits and licenses. What permits do you need before drilling a borehole? It would be best to have a Water Resources Authority (WRA) permit, the National Environment Management Authority(NEMA) license, and county government permits. Note: We have not included the cost of these permits in the hydrogeological survey charges. If you want to know the bills, you can ask for a detailed quotation, and we will provide one. Once we have the permits, the Drilling and construction of the borehole can begin

Borehole Drilling And Construction.

The following is a step-by-step process of borehole drilling and construction.

Drilling operations.

The cost of drilling a borehole in Kitui varies between KES 6,700 and KES 9,300 per meter. The fee includes mobilization, Drilling, casing, and well development. We understand the value of minimizing cost; therefore, our technicians select the site with the most potential.

Test pumping

Test pumping is the next step, continuously pumping water for 24 hours. By doing this, we determine the yield of the borehole and its recharge rates. Additionally, test pumping helps determine the kind of pump you will need. The higher the recharge, the stronger the pump. If a client wants to solar power their borehole, test pumping helps us identify the number of solar panels and equipment needed to match the amount of water.

Casing installation

Once we finish the test pumping, our technicians place a casing or screen(made of PVC or Steel) inside the borehole to keep it clean while also serving as a conduit for water pumping. We install the casing from the bottom of the borehole to the surface. The casing procedure is vital as it maintains the well's accessibility while protecting the environment.

Pump installation

As mentioned above, the test pumping helps determine the kind of pump to use on the borehole. During pump installation, we connect the pump to the discharge pump and submerge it in the borehole. After that, we install a check valve to prevent backflow. We connect the pump to the desired power supply, whether solar or electricity. After the pump installation, we test it to ensure it works well and delivers the required water flow rate.

Water quality assessment

We collect water samples during test pumping and send them to the lab for testing. The tests allow us to determine whether the water can be used domestically or for industrial purposes. It's vital to know that the cost of test pumping and water quality assessment are combined. We have all these detailed in the quotation.
