At Monsoon Drillers, we pride ourselves on being among the premier and most affordable borehole drilling companies in Nairobi, dedicated to providing reliable water solutions. In a recent project, we were tasked with drilling a borehole for a client's home, ensuring a sustainable and efficient water supply. Here are the key steps we took from start to finish:
1. Hydrogeological Survey
Our initial step involved conducting a thorough hydrogeological survey to pinpoint water sources. We utilized a combination of water browsing and vertical electrical sounding techniques to identify aquifers and assess geological conditions. Through data processing and analysis, we determined the borehole's depth and expected yield.
2. Permits Acquisition
We diligently acquired all necessary permits before commencing drilling operations. This included obtaining licenses from the Water Resource Authority, permits from the Water Resources Management Authority, a letter of no objection from the local water provider, and approval from the National Environment Management Authority. All required documentation was submitted and approved by the county government.
3. Drilling
With permits secured, we proceeded with the drilling phase using the rotary drilling method, known for its efficiency and accuracy in borehole creation.
4. Casing and Gravel Packing
Upon completion of drilling, we installed steel casing pipes to prevent collapse and fitted screens to filter out debris while allowing water flow. Gravel packing was employed to stabilize the borehole walls and prevent sand intrusion.
5. Test Pumping
We conducted extensive test pumping to assess the borehole's water yield over the long term, ensuring optimal performance without compromising the water source.
6. Pump Installation
Subsequently, we installed a submersible water pump to extract water from the borehole, providing the client with a reliable water supply solution.
7. Water Quality Testing:
As a final step, we conducted comprehensive water quality testing to confirm suitability for domestic use. Samples were sent to a laboratory for analysis, and upon affirmation of water quality, the client could enjoy a dependable flow of water in their home.
Our meticulous approach, from survey to installation, ensures that our clients receive tailored water solutions that meet their needs efficiently and sustainably.
