About Us
Company Overview.

Life waters Drilling limited is a company that provides water and environmental services in Kenya with a wealth of experience in hydrogeological/geophysical-surveys, borehole drilling, hydrological assessments, Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) and Environmental Audits (EAs) as well as GIS consultancy services. Our aim is to provide quality, clean water and boreholes that can be well maintained and long lasting as well as help our clients manage the surface water resources and the environment in general.

The company was established with the objective of offering quality services in the field of ground water exploration, and provide clean water services in the most efficient and ethical manner while aiming to actively contribute to the improvement of people’s lives and livelihoods. With time we have expanded our portfolio to include environmental impact assessments, environmental audits, hydrological assessments and Geographic Information System (GIS) Consultancy services.

Life waters drilling limited is a private company registered under the Kenya Companies Act (CAP 486). The company has one office but we traverse all over Kenya as requested by our clients. The company Headquarters is in Eldoret Town at Sagatia Business centre, 1st flr Room No. F05, (Next to Tulin Supermarket) along Iten Road.

We offer professional and consultancy services in water and environment. Our services range from groundwater exploration, geophysical survey, hydrogeological surveys, borehole drilling and development, test pumping and pump installations, erection and installation of steel tanks and water storage facilities, hydrological services, Environmental Impact Assessments, Environmental Audit and GIS consultancy. The company has experienced and competent staff who offer professional services in the above areas of consultancy.

Our Services.

This involves identification of suitable sites for borehole/ well drilling as per the Water resource management Authority.

Purposed for Borehole Site Investigations, groundwater availability studies and management, water resources management, aquifer mapping and modelling, well-field designs, groundwater monitoring, aquifer studies. Borehole condition assessment, groundwater recharge, groundwater quality assessment, determination of groundwater abstraction patterns and borehole density etc.

(for purposes of borehole drilling site surveying or geotechnical surveys). We use of ABEM Terameter SAS 1000 series for to carry out this survey which can distinguish between clays and fresh water by use of Induced Polarization (IP) measurements. We employ Vertical Electrical Sounding and Horizontal Electrical Profiling as well as other geotechnical survey techniques.

Purposed for water abstraction from river, streams springs, lakes etc. It entails the intake point assessment, flow discharge assessment and sampling water for quality test. Water abstraction can be for purposes such as dam construction, water for irrigation, water bottling, industrial uses and domestic purposes.

We offer Drilling and construction of a wholesome water supply borehole system. Subject to standard practices, and drilling norms; we offer and complete the entire drilling works to the recommended depth; adhering amongst others to appropriate development and gravel packing standards; aquifer testing the borehole to ascertain its yield; with a subsequent water quality analysis by a certified and approved laboratory;
We execute the whole of the works to the satisfaction of the client in total conformity to the drilling norms and drilling standards. The actual designs for the Borehole as dully constructed; ensuring amongst others appropriate pump setting depths for the final installation is issued.
Adherence to WRMA requirements in terms of Borehole completion reports; we issue to our clients all the necessary documents and devise the geological logging works for the purpose of borehole registration.

The purpose of test pumping is to estimate the yield of the borehole. Water is continuously pumped out for 24hrs at specific rates and measurements taken after certain intervals. Test pumping is followed by a Recovery test for a further 24 hours or alternatively until the initial WRL has been reached (during which the rate of recovery to WRL is recorded). From the test pumping data analysis is done and the yield, rest level, pumping water level and borehole recharge rates estimated. Test pumping is an important process because from the yield estimation we can then decide the size and capacity of the pump to be installed for the borehole sustainability. The results of the test will help in determining the optimum rate, pump installation depth and the drawdown for a given discharge rate.

After drilling process and test pumping, we do installation of submersible pumps in boreholes and shallow wells. The sizing of the pump depends on the head required as per the depth drilled and the amount of water to be pumped from the aquifer. Pumping system contain the following;

  • Submersible pump & motor.
  • Submersible cable.
  • Control panel-power supply.
  • Sensor cables.
  • Plumbing works.

We work with structural engineers and technicians who design fabricate and install elevated water tanks. We bring you elevated water tanks that incorporate the best features of bolted welded and concrete foundation into a superior elevated water tank design. We offer both steel tank and plastic tank installations. Plastic tank design is cheaper because all you need is just a tower. We listen to our clients and develop water storage products and services that fulfill their water needs and financial capability.

Environmental impact assessment (EIA) is a requirement by NEMA before drilling a borehole in Kenya and other construction works. The EIA study is done to ascertain the environmental impacts of a project (both positive and negative) and guides in the development of mitigation measures for the negative impacts as well as monitoring of the borehole activities to prevent further impacts. We offer EIA services to all construction works for example; commercial and residential houses, petrol stations, water treatment plants, dams, go-downs etc. After submission of the EIA report to national environmental management authority (NEMA) we do a follow-up to ensure a permit is given to our client. With the NEMA and WRMA license borehole drilling can commence.

Environmental Audit is also a requirement used to assess the conditions of the borehole and the implementation of the mitigation measures put in place for borehole management. An Environmental Audit for project is done yearly and submitted to NEMA.

We offer a range of GIS services including mapping, consultancy and support services. Our GIS consultancy services range from:

  • Spatial analysis
  • Geocoding
  • Geo-referencing
  • Data Conversions
  • GIS Data Capture
  • Project Management
  • Spatial database design and integration
