Ensuring Regulatory Compliance and Quality Drilling
For successful borehole drilling in Kenya, certain prerequisites must be met:
Hydrogeological Survey: Undertake a hydrogeological survey by a qualified professional to estimate drilling depth, site location, and soil formations. Our surveys, conducted by registered hydrogeologists, ensure accurate data for casing material selection and cost estimation.
WRA (Water Resource Authority) Permit: Obtain the necessary permit from the Water Resource Authority, the regulatory body overseeing water resource use. This permit is the green light needed to proceed with borehole drilling after the hydrogeologist’s report.
NEMA (National Environment Management Authority) Permit: Assess the environmental impact of drilling with a report from NEMA. Positive findings grant the green light to proceed, considering the project’s minimal environmental hazards.
