What is Lipa Pole Pole Borehole Drilling payment Plan?

Access to clean, reliable water is one of the most critical needs for homes, farms, schools, institutions, and businesses across Kenya. Borehole drilling has long been recognised as one of the most sustainable solutions to water scarcity — delivering safe underground water that is independent of rainfall patterns, municipal supply failures, and seasonal shortages. However, one of the biggest barriers that property owners and organisations face is the upfront cost of drilling. Borehole projects can require significant capital investment, and for many Kenyans, mobilising that full amount at once is simply not practical.

That is why Teko Engineering Ltd introduced the Lipa Pole Pole Borehole Drilling Payment Plan — a flexible, customer-centered financing arrangement designed to make borehole drilling accessible to everyone, regardless of their current cash flow situation.

Understanding "Lipa Pole Pole"

"Lipa Pole Pole" is a Swahili phrase that translates directly to "Pay Slowly" or "Pay Gradually." It reflects a straightforward philosophy: rather than waiting until you have the full project cost in hand, you can begin your borehole drilling project today and spread the payments over an agreed period of time.

At Teko Engineering Ltd, we believe that lack of immediate capital should never stand between you and access to clean water. The Lipa Pole Pole plan is our commitment to ensuring that water security is within reach for every Kenyan — whether you are a homeowner in a peri-urban estate, a farmer in a rural county, a church, school, or a growing business.

How Does the Lipa Pole Pole Plan Work?

The Lipa Pole Pole Payment Plan is structured to be as simple and transparent as possible. Here is how the process works:

1. Initial Consultation and Site Assessment

The journey begins with a free consultation with our team of experts. We visit your site, assess the hydrogeological conditions, and determine the best borehole specifications for your needs. This includes estimated drilling depth, casing requirements, and pump specifications. After the assessment, we provide you with a comprehensive quotation for the full project.

2. Agreement on Payment Schedule

Once you review and accept the quotation, you and Teko Engineering Ltd agree on a customised payment schedule. This schedule defines the deposit amount required to mobilise the project, the milestone payments tied to key stages of the drilling process, and the final balance due upon project completion and handover. The payment terms are documented in a formal agreement signed by both parties, so there are no hidden surprises.

3. Project Commencement

With the initial deposit received and the agreement signed, our certified drilling team mobilises to your site with our modern drilling rigs and equipment. Work begins promptly, and you receive regular progress updates throughout the project.

4. Milestone Payments

Payments are tied to clear project milestones — for example, after casing installation, after pump testing, or after successful water yield confirmation. This means you pay for what has been done, giving you full confidence that your money is working towards tangible, verified progress on your borehole.

5. Final Handover

Once the borehole is complete, the pump is installed, water quality tests are conducted, and the remaining balance is settled, the project is officially handed over to you. You receive full documentation, including drilling logs, pump test reports, and water quality certificates.
