The Procedure of Water Drilling.
The Cost of Borehole Drilling in Zimbabwe:

1. Geological Survey (Borehole Siting): A Geological Survey (Borehole Siting) accesses the geographical landscape and composition of your ground and ascertains the location and depth at which the water drilling should take place.

2. Borehole Drilling and Casing: The Mobilization of the Drilling Rigs is done once payment has been settled. Upon reaching the site, our Borehole Drilling Rig locates the area identified by the hydrogeologist as suitable for drilling. The machine uses a bit and a hammer to penetrate the ground and rods which further push the head of the drill towards the ground. The penetration continues until the drill reaches the required depth. The drill usually passes through a water-bearing formation as it is drilling. A Borehole Casing of the Borehole is usually done after the required depth is reached.

4. Yield Testing: This stage is crucial as it conducts a chemical analysis of the water to determine its suitability for use. Sometimes a blow yield test is done with the Rig. Blow Yield Test is the rate at which water is blown from a borehole during drilling. A blow yield test is usually conducted once the borehole is completed to provide an indication of borehole yield.

Why is blowing yield important? Blow yield gives an indication of the rate at which groundwater can be abstracted from a borehole.

5. Securing The Borehole: Top Slabs are inserted and a cap is usually put on the borehole

6. Water Collection: As per the client requests, we can also put up Water Storage Tanks and Tank Stands along with the required piping.

A common question that we are asked is “How Much Does A Borehole Cost?” While this might seem like a straightforward question to ask, the answer certainly isn’t. 


It is the equivalent of asking how much a car costs.

The answer is dependent on various factors. What kind of car do you need? What do you want to use the car for? There isn’t a blanket price for a car, and likewise, there isn’t one for a borehole either. The cost of a borehole is largely dependent on its depth and the amount of casing to be used. The type of rock that we have to rill through also influences the price, as does the actual ground conditions.

While most people expect the easiest drilling to be into soft and loose geologies, the opposite is generally true. A great difficulty of the drilling process is to keep the borehole open during the process, which is made more difficult when the hole is collapsing in on itself because of unstable and loose ground.

We itemise all our quotes, however, in a logical manner that makes them easy to understand, so that the customer is aware of the costs at every stage of the project.

2. Borehole Drilling Depth: The exact depth, of where the water is located, cannot be established by the drilling contractor nor the Water Surveyor (Borehole Siter).

3. The Is No 100% Guarantee On Water: It is important to note that it is never a 100% guarantee that any hole will yield water, the amount and water quality can also not be guaranteed by the drilling contractor and water surveyor.

4. Borehole Siting or Water Surveying Is Important: Making use of a hydrologist or traditional water diviner will increase your chances of having a successful borehole that will yield a sufficient amount of water.

5. Know The Risks: The risk of the borehole drilling lies with the property owner. The client will still be liable for the drilling costs irrespective of a borehole yielding water or not.
