We design, implement, and optimize sustainable water and sanitation systems, including boreholes, pipelines, treatment units, and sanitation infrastructure. Our engineering designs are built to withstand climate shocks and tailored to the needs of each community.
Key Services:
- Feasibility, Siting, and Resource Mapping: Every successful project begins with a deep understanding of the local context. We conduct comprehensive technical feasibility studies and hydrogeological surveys to identify and characterize viable water resources. Our expertise in geophysical investigations, as demonstrated in projects like the AIC Tangu Borehole assessment, allows us to delineate fractured and weathered rock zones, map aquifer potential, and select optimal drilling sites to maximize yield and sustainability.
- Climate-Resilient Infrastructure Design: We specialize in designing WASH systems that are resilient to climate shocks. Whether it's engineering borehole protection works to withstand major flood events, as proposed for the Baricho Well-field, or designing solar-powered networks that ensure water access during drought, our designs incorporate climate adaptation from the outset. This includes boreholes, pipelines, water pans, treatment units, and sanitation infrastructure tailored to specific environmental risks.
- Implementation, Supervision, and Quality Assurance: WASHLAB provides expert oversight throughout the construction and implementation phase. We supervise civil works, manage contracts, and enforce strict quality assurance protocols to ensure that all infrastructure is built to the highest engineering standards and aligns with project specifications and donor requirements.
- Water Quality and Treatment: nsuring water is not just available but also safe is paramount. We provide comprehensive water quality monitoring services and design appropriate treatment solutions, from automatic chlorination systems integrated into boreholes to larger-scale treatment units, to guarantee that communities receive water that meets WHO and national standards
