Water Engineering & Pumping Systems
Precision pump sizing, submersible and booster installations, automated pressure control panels, filtration, and reticulation networks engineered for reliable fluid distribution.
Engineered hydraulic performance for consistent water supply.
Extracting water from a borehole or municipal source is only half the challenge—getting it to flow reliably across residential estates, commercial buildings, or agricultural fields requires rigorous hydraulic engineering. At Ubunifu Green Solutions, we design and install fluid transfer configurations matched to exact total dynamic head (TDH) and flow rate (m³/h) specifications.
From automated pressure booster sets and variable frequency drive (VFD) pump controllers to elevated steel water towers and pipeline distribution manifolds, our engineering team ensures optimal water delivery pressure and protection against electrical surges and dry runs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers to common questions about water pumps, pressure systems, and reticulation in Kenya.
Pump sizing is determined by calculating your Total Dynamic Head (vertical lift + pipe friction losses) and your required discharge volume (liters per hour or cubic meters per hour). Our engineers calculate these parameters during site scoping to prevent underperforming or oversized pumps.
We install electronic dry-run protection sensors (such as electrode level probes or digital load monitors) within our custom control panels. These automatically shut off the pump motor if source water levels fall below safe thresholds.
Yes. We specify and install automated multistage booster pump sets paired with pressure tanks or variable frequency drives (VFDs) to maintain steady, high-pressure water delivery across all floors of residential and commercial properties.
Yes. We fabricate and erect heavy-duty structural steel water towers and tank stands tailored to support your exact water storage volume safely and securely.
