Trail Western driller�s ltd has tie up with various leading Manufacturing Companies to supply quality products in East Africa Region. We are authorized Dealer for some manufacturing company a leading manufacturers of Drilling rigs and accessories Our mission Water is life. Our goal is to provide safe and clean water to all. Lack of clean water in Kenya and in deed the whole of Africa remains a major challenge-stunting industrial, social and economic and agricultural development. We hope to alleviate water problems that have been for many years. It is unacceptable that many lives are still today lost to water borne diseases, malnutrition and hunger in Kenya. Availability of clean water can alleviate the suffering, while boosting food production and enhancing food supply. We work with the local governments, NGO�s, churches, missionary and other organizations, self help groups and private individuals and indeed many interested parties who are seriously addressing this problem Our Equipment Western drillers LTD presently operates two combination drilling rigs, both capable to drill up to 350 meters using Air rotary or Mud rotary meters under favorable drilling conditions. Drilling diameters range from 150mm to ***** drilling rigs, mounted in 6x4 trucks for easy accessibility in some of the tough terrains of Kenya.

To do this, we have modern water surveying and drilling equipment that meets international standards. The drilling process starts with a hydro-geological study to locate accurately, where, how deep we have to drill to reach the water which exists underground in the area of study. The reservoirs or underground water springs are known as aquifers. Once the survey is completed, we then proceed and apply for the required permits and easements as required by the government. The drilling involves the mobilizing and setting up of the equipment at the site. We erect the mast, and use a spirit level to ensure that the machine is set upright. This guarantees a straight well in to the ground. Our equipment drills using an air hammer (DTH), which will allow us to penetrate through both dirt/soil and the hard rock underneath, until we reach the determined depth, where there is enough water in the aquifers to feed/charge/recharge the borehole. Drilling has to be done through a few aquifers, since the yield from the first, second and third aquifers might not be sufficient to sustain the submersible pump that is installed in the borehole. On average, the boreholes in Kenya range in depth from about 150 meters (492Ft) to about 350Meters (1, 148Ft) depending on the locality and the geological specifics of the region. Once water has been struck, we supply and insert the casing/ slotted casing at the well bottom, which basically is a steel or PVC rim that supports the borehole walls to ensure that the walls do not collapse. The option of using PVC versus steel casings is discussed and determined by the customer prior to drilling. A one meter piece of steel casing is left protruding above the ground level to ensure that run-off rain or other water and silt does not find its way into the borehole. We then pack the circumference of the well on the exterior of the casing using specially graded sand or gravel that serves as a water filter. A raised slab is also build around the borehole, which ensures that any sitting water flows away. The final step is the test pumping of the borehole, a process which allows for measuring how much water the borehole is yielding versus the recharging rate. A portable submersible pump and power generators (if this is no existing power on site) are installed temporarily for testing purposes. Once installed, water is continuously pumped out of the borehole for a sustained period. We have high quality of workmanship and skill, which you definitely will experience working with our team. The actual drilling process, start to finish normally takes 2-4 days depending on depths and eventualities. Supply and installation of pumping equipment Under this agreement our company will work with you after the borehole has been drilled, tested and certified. We will buy and install the pump, control panel, pipes and cables, and indeed all other sundries, so that we hand over a fully functional and productive borehole. This makes the process a lot faster, economical and convenient for our customers since they will our company to deal with from the start to the end of the project. Borehole maintenance Like anything else in life, borehole maintenance is a reality that owners have to contend with from time to time. Under these contracts, we pull out and maintain borehole pumps at some agreed upon intervals. This may include "flashing"/de-silting and/or replacing worn out pumps, burnt out motors and/or broken pipes, cables or control panels. This need is determined by many factors, among them declining yield, or dirty water production. This will in turn translate to maximum productivity of the boreholes and the efficiency of the equipment for our customers. We also offer our borehole rehabilitation services which include cleaning out and deepening of existing boreholes and other related issues on a case to case basis. Quality of service The value of a good and reliable source of water is immeasurable. We own and operate modern equipment backed by qualified technicians who are trained in the latest drilling methods and technology. As active drillers maintain a wide base of drilling knowledge of issues that face drillers and consumers of borehole water worldwide. We strive to protect our customer�s investment by ensuring quality workmanship and excellence in the services that we provide while keeping the cost to our customers to a minimum.
