Teko Engineering Ltd leads the way, offering professional, affordable, and fully compliant borehole drilling tailored to Kakamega's unique geology and needs.

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.
