Water is life — and for many in Kenya, a borehole is the most reliable way to access clean, year-round water. Whether you’re a homeowner, school, farm, or business, a borehole offers independence from unreliable county supply and costly water bills.

At Brian Logistics Ltd, we provide professional borehole drilling and solar pumping services across Kenya. In this article, we’ll break down how the process works, what to budget for, and how you can maximize value from your borehole investment.

💧 What Is a Borehole?

A borehole is a deep, narrow hole drilled into the ground to access underground water (aquifers). Once drilled, a pump system brings water to the surface for use in homes, farms, or institutions.

🧾 Step-by-Step Borehole Drilling Process in Kenya

1. Hydrogeological Survey – A licensed geologist surveys your land to determine the best location and depth. This survey is required by WRMA and helps avoid dry boreholes.
2. Permit Application – We help you secure approvals from:
   • Water Resources Authority (WRA)
   • National Environmental Management Authority (NEMA)
3. Mobilization & Drilling – We bring in the drilling rig and drill to the target depth — typically 50–250 meters, depending on your area.
4. Casing & Gravel Packing – Steel or PVC casing is inserted to prevent the borehole walls from collapsing, and gravel is packed around it to filter the water.
5. Test Pumping & Water Analysis – A temporary pump is installed to test yield and water quality — essential for long-term planning.
6. Pump Installation – We install a submersible pump, which can be diesel, electric, or solar-powered for off-grid convenience.

⚙️ Why Combine with Solar Water Pumping?

Adding a solar pump saves you money by eliminating fuel or electricity bills. Solar pumps work automatically during daylight, filling your tanks without human intervention.

At Brian Logistics Ltd, we offer complete borehole + solar pump packages.
