Water security in the Rift Valley: dams, boreholes and solar pumping

Kyul Engineering — Water Division 12 June 2025 4 min read

Water is where engineering meets community resilience. Over the past two years Kyul Engineering has delivered a portfolio of water works across the Rift Valley and Western regions — from the rehabilitation of the Kesses earth dam to solar-pumped boreholes and storage for schools.

Designing for the long term

Our standard specification now defaults to solar pumping wherever feasible, reducing operating cost and carbon while improving reliability for communities that cannot depend on grid power. Every scheme is delivered to NEMA standards with community engagement built in.
