One technical partner. Every project stage.
Explore serviceWe are a proudly Zambian, privately owned technical solutions company. Our experience includes major works in India, bringing international exposure to the realities of local ground conditions.
Our teams connect consultancy, surveying, drilling, pumping and civil works, helping clients move confidently through every stage of development.
Meet STSOur Zambian identity gives us a strong understanding of local conditions, while our international project exposure provides valuable experience with global approaches and technical practices.
Our personnel bring practical experience across drilling, exploration, geophysics, hydrogeology, water development, construction, and field operations.
We continue to invest in modern drilling and support equipment to improve productivity and project reliability.
Our ability to combine consultancy, surveying, drilling, pumping, construction, and after-sales support provides clients with a coordinated project-delivery solution.
With the ability to undertake approximately 50–60 water boreholes per month under suitable operating conditions, STS can support both individual and large-scale programmes.
We place strong emphasis on technical accuracy, workmanship, supervision, documentation, and client satisfaction.
We understand the importance of timelines and work closely with clients to minimise unnecessary delays.
We remain available to support clients after project completion through technical assistance, maintenance support, and genuine spare-parts supply.
STS differentiates itself through the combination of:
This combination enables us to deliver solutions that are not only technically appropriate but also commercially practical and sustainable.
Explore the five stages of borehole development and water distribution through STS photographs and a casing illustration.

Hydrogeological investigation and geophysical surveying inform borehole siting, design and the drilling programme.

The rig drills through the formation using a method and diameter selected for the site geology and project requirements.

Casing and screens are installed to suit the formation, followed by borehole development. uPVC casing is shown for illustration.

Water-level and discharge measurements help assess borehole performance and guide pump selection. Water quality is assessed for the intended use.

The borehole is connected to pumping, storage and distribution infrastructure designed around the farm or site’s water demand.
Final design, materials and equipment depend on site conditions and project specifications.
