Comprehensive Drilling Process
Raeli Hydro follows a proven 5-step process for every Homa Bay borehole project, ensuring optimal results from survey to commissioning.
-
Hydrogeological Survey – Experts use geophysical tools like resistivity meters to pinpoint aquifer locations and recommend depths typically 80-200 meters in Homa Bay’s terrain.
-
Permits Acquisition – Assistance with WRA drilling permits and NEMA Environmental Impact Assessments, mandatory before mobilization.
-
Drilling and Casing – High-pressure rotary rigs drill precisely, installing PVC or steel casings to prevent collapse in sandy or fractured formations.
-
Development and Test Pumping – Air-lifting removes debris, followed by step-drawdown tests to verify sustainable yield and water quality.
-
Equipping – Installation of submersible pumps, control panels, and connections to tanks or distribution systems.
This methodical process guarantees clean, reliable water supply while adhering to Kenyan standards.
