Our Story

Founded in 2015 by Eng. Simon Mutiso, Drilsol Ltd emerged from a simple yet powerful vision: to provide reliable, sustainable water solutions to communities, farms, and businesses across Kenya. What started as a small drilling operation in Machakos has grown into a comprehensive groundwater solutions company serving clients throughout East Africa.

Our journey began when our founder, Simon Mutiso, recognized the critical need for professional water solutions in a region frequently affected by water scarcity. With a background in hydrogeology and a passion for sustainable development, he assembled a team of experts dedicated to solving water challenges through innovation and expertise.

Today, Drilsol stands as a testament to our commitment to quality, sustainability, and client satisfaction. We've successfully completed over 120 water projects, from small residential boreholes to large-scale agricultural irrigation systems, always prioritizing environmental responsibility and community impact.
