HOW DEEP MUST A BOREHOLE BE? The minimum Borehole Drilling Depth for boreholes in Zimbabwe is 40 metres. Boreholes in Zimbabwe are dug according to the hydro-geological survey which estimates the depth of a borehole. Water drilling companies usually dig the borehole according to the recommended depth from the hydro-geologists however can dig further upon a request from the client.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO DRILL A BOREHOLE? A borehole is dependent on many factors, the distance and accessibility to the site, the geology of the landscape and any complications that might arise on the site. When the borehole is drilling by a drilling team that is well versed with many terrains then the team will be able to deliver in a timely manner. The most typical time for the drilling and equipping of a borehole is a week but can be less or more depending on the above factors.


HOW LONG WILL A BOREHOLE LAST? A good constructed Borehole can last for generations to generations. There are however some boreholes that require rehabilitation to ensure that they are in good working order. In Zimbabwe, we have successfully rehabilitated many Boreholes and tested the water content to ensure that the water was clean and safe for use. Many of our boreholes have been used for commercial or domestic use without any problems.

PLASTIC CASING OR STEEL CASING, WHICH IS BETTER? As a client, there are two types of casings available, plastic casing and steel casing. Borehole Drilling requires that the borehole uses one material and cannot mix the two materials. Each has its advantages and its drawbacks. Plastic casing while cheaper, lighter and rustproof is also brittle and can break; the casing is usually used for depths less than 100 meters. On the other hand, steel is quite strong and rigid and can go for large depths however this just like household piping can rust over time, this should be noted that it takes a while for this to happen, roughly about 75 years.
