PROJECT AT A GLANCE
What we delivered
Aqua Hub Kenya drilled a 120-metre borehole, installed a pumping system and connected it to a 10,000-litre elevated storage tank. The project was completed in 18 days and was designed to provide a dependable water supply for the school community.
The challenge
Before the project, the school experienced an unreliable water supply, particularly during periods of high demand and dry weather. Limited water availability affected daily activities such as cleaning, sanitation and general school operations.
The school needed a dependable water solution that could serve its students and staff while providing sufficient storage for daily use.
Our approach
Our team began with a site assessment to understand the school’s requirements and identify a suitable location for the borehole.
We then planned the drilling, pumping and storage requirements, mobilised the necessary equipment and carried out the works in stages. Throughout the project, the team worked closely with the school to minimise disruption and keep the client informed of progress.
HOW IT HAPPENED
The process, start to finish
Every Aqua Hub Kenya project follows the same stages. Here’s exactly how this one went, with photos and video from each visit.
5 August 2026
Our team visited the school to assess the site, understand the existing water challenges and discuss the school’s requirements. The proposed project scope and next steps were reviewed with the school representatives.
7 August 2026
Following the site assessment, Aqua Hub Kenya presented the proposed scope of work, project timeline and cost. The school reviewed the proposal and agreed to proceed with the project.
10–12 August 2026
Drilling equipment was transported to the site and the work area was prepared. The team completed the necessary groundwork and confirmed the drilling location before commencing the main works.
13–16 August 2026
The borehole was drilled to a depth of 120 metres. The team then installed the required casing, pumping equipment and associated water infrastructure before connecting the system to the storage tank.
17 August 2026
The completed system was tested to assess water yield and ensure that the pumping and storage components were operating as intended. The team also carried out final checks before preparing the system for handover.
18 August 2026
A final walkthrough was conducted with the school representatives. The team demonstrated the system and provided guidance on basic operation and maintenance before officially handing over the completed project
