Who we are and what we do.

Who We Are

Milimani Drilling East Africa Ltd

We deliver integrated water solutions across Kenya, from hydrogeological surveys and permit facilitation to borehole construction, pumping, water storage, treatment and irrigation. Each project is planned around its site conditions and intended use, with an emphasis on reliable, sustainable water access.

Established in 2006 as Milimani Subterranean Springs Ltd, we expanded into full-scale drilling operations in 2013. As a licensed water-services company, we have since completed more than 500 boreholes across Kenya and the region, building experience across varied ground conditions and project requirements.

We serve homeowners, farms, schools, universities, churches, county and community projects, NGOs and commercial organizations. Hydrogeologists, engineers, project managers and field specialists work together from assessment through construction and commissioning, with clear communication and practical support at every stage.

Certifications & Compliance

Working within Kenya’s water and environmental requirements

Borehole approvals depend on the location, proposed abstraction and project scope. We help clients identify the relevant authorities and coordinate the required documentation.

Water Resources Authority

Water-resource permits and authorizations are confirmed for each project according to its location, source and intended abstraction.

Project-specific water approvals

Environmental approvals

Environmental assessment and NEMA-related approvals are addressed where the project type and applicable regulations require them.

Environmental review where applicable

Water services regulatory framework

We consider WASREB requirements where a project involves regulated water-service provision. WASREB oversight is distinct from a general borehole drilling licence.

Relevant to regulated water services

Professional registrations & memberships

Technical work is assigned according to the discipline and professional requirements of the project. Registration and membership details should be verified against the practitioners assigned to each scope.
