Sub Saharan Drilling is a Ugandan LLC, operated primarily by Ugandans with the objective of drilling boreholes and building pit latrines.
Sub Saharan Drilling was formed in early 2013 and is focused on delivering quality boreholes to NGOs, UWA and communities, as well as test hole drilling for mining companies in the region. The drill used is air rotary and both compressors and drill have been completely overhauled in early 2013. Rafael de Leon has assumed the position of Managing Director of the company. The team working for Sub Saharan Drilling has been carrying out borehole drilling for the past 8 years primarily in the northern, eastern and western regions of Uganda and in the Democratic Republic of Congo. We have highly experienced technicians, drilling operators and support workers. Our dedicated highly skilled technicians are always available for resolving complex drilling problems. We have professional geologists and surveyors for pre and post drilling surveys and analysis. The drilling team which worked for ADT Africa and is now working for Sub Saharan Drilling has completed work for the following international NGOs over the past 7 years:
