Know better. Drill better.

Who we are

One team from the first survey to a working pump

Founded in 2019, Liyat Construction is led by its General Manager, a hydrogeologist with 19 years of hands-on drilling experience.

Our own teams carry out the drilling, the pumping tests and the electromechanical works. A dedicated pumping test crew brings a crane, generators and variable-discharge pumps to site.
