Borehole Drilling Services in Kakamega by Teko Engineering Ltd

Access to reliable water is a game-changer for residents, farmers, schools, and businesses in Kakamega County. With frequent droughts, erratic rainfall, and overburdened public water systems, borehole drilling services in Kakamega have become essential for sustainable water solutions. Teko Engineering Ltd leads the way, offering professional, affordable, and fully compliant borehole drilling tailored to Kakamega's unique geology and needs. Our lipa pole pole (pay later) model makes high-quality boreholes accessible without upfront costs, serving everyone from smallholder farmers in Malava to institutions in Mumias.

Why Kakamega Needs Professional Borehole Drilling

Kakamega County, in Western Kenya, sits on the fertile Kakamega Forest belt with volcanic and sedimentary soils ideal for agriculture. However, water scarcity affects over 40% of households, especially in peri-urban areas like Likoni and rural wards like Ikolomani. Borehole drilling in Kakamega targets aquifers at 50-150 meters, yielding 5,000-20,000 liters per hour for irrigation, domestic use, and commercial needs.​

Traditional methods like shallow wells often fail during dry spells. Teko Engineering's deep rotary drilling ensures consistent yields, even in hard rock formations common around Navakholo. We use Down-The-Hole (DTH) hammers and mud rotary rigs for precision, minimizing dry holes and maximizing value.​
