Entails groundwater exploration to select suitable sites for drilling of water wells, using well-proven techniques of geophysical exploration. The main emphasis of the fieldwork is to determine the thickness and composition of the sub-surface formations and to identify water-bearing zones. The subsequent hydrogeological report is submitted to WRA (Water Resources Authority) to acquire a drilling permit.

Borehole Drilling
Borehole Drilling
The step by step process entails; Borehole drilling using an 8½ inch diameter bit, casing with good quality 6” screens made of steel or uPVC, packing gravel, grouting, cleaning the borehole (development), test pumping to determine the aquifer properties to enable the hydrogeologist design the pump and water quality analysis to determine the physical, chemical and bacteriological properties. When drilling for water resources the experience of our drilling staff means that constant resource and volume assessment are possible throughout the process, resulting in appropriate depths being drilled to best meet client’s volume demands. Geobrix has drilled for a variety of clients for many different purposes:
Domestic Supply
Industrial Supply
Commercial Supply
Irrigation
Hospitality Facilities
Schools and Colleges
Hospitals
Electric & Solar Pump Installation
The characteristics of the borehole and available groundwater along with the needs of the end-user in terms of flow-rate and delivery pressure are taken into account during the pump design process. The best submersible pump is recommended and installed. The system is complete with submersible cables providing power to the pump, Underground armored cables, uPVC drop pipes, and adaptor set. The borehole is fitted with a borehole cover and a water meter.

Water Experts Kenya offers service in water supply systems design and installations, an area in which its staff have extensive experience and expertise. They include steel towers and tanks.
Borehole Camera Inspection
A small camera is lowered into a borehole to assess the condition of the casing, observe chemical deposits, or identify obstructions. A digital image is viewed on a monitor screen at the surface and is recorded as a digital file.

/Geotechnical Investigations
Geotechnical Investigations
Geobrix has been involved in a wide variety of projects related to geotechnical engineering, environmental engineering, and materials testing including foundation design and recommendations for steel towers, Power lines, Power stations, Dams, Solar Power Plants, Wind Power Plants, Silos, Tunnels, Roads, Buildings and Bridges. The company has capacity to carry out Plate load tests, coring, Auguring, SPTs, seismic surveys, resistivity surveys, Trial pits among others in challenging and dynamic geology.
Water Experts Kenya conducts geotechnical investigations to:
Provide information on the subsurface conditions sufficiently detailed for engineering design of the foundation works (including vibration analyses)
Identify Geohazards (e.g. cavities) with impact on ultimate limit state and serviceability state for the foundations
Identify possible problems for the construction works
