Drilled water boreholes in Uganda

We have worked on a number of drilling projects including;

We have worked in different regions of the country including the central, Eastern, Western, and Northern gaining more experience in handling different soil formations, and different rock types.

Listed below is some of our selected drilled water boreholes
