Recent work
Projects we are proud of
A solar borehole for 1,400 pupils
The school's hand-dug well ran dry each March. We drilled to 96 m and fitted a solar pump with two tap stands.
Treated water for 120 homes
Two boreholes feeding an iron removal and UV plant, with a 60,000 litre tower.
Why it matters
Water at home, not a walk away
Across Kano, families still buy water from carts or walk to a shared well, and many private boreholes fail in the dry season because they were drilled too shallow.
- We survey first, so we drill where the water is
- We drill below the dry season level, not just to first water
- We test yield and quality before we hand over
- We stay on call for repairs with a 24 hour pump line
Clients
What clients say
Example testimonials for this demo.
They showed us the survey graph before drilling and explained why the spot behind the kitchen was better. Two years on, water all through harmattan.
Hadiza, example client, Nassarawa GRAOur factory had brown water and stained tanks. After the iron plant, the lab report came back clean and the stains stopped.
Example client, Sharada industrial areaThe pump stopped on a Sunday and an engineer was there by evening. That is why we renewed the care plan.
Musa, example client, HotoroKnow what is under your plot before you drill
A geophysical survey costs ₦85,000 and is deducted from your drilling price if you go ahead.
