Four Tips On How to Choose a Reputable Borehole Drilling Company In Zimbabwe?

When partnering with a legitimate borehole drilling company, you can look forward to excellent service and value for money, and enjoying great returns on your investment for years to come.


There are four E’s you should look for in any drilling company in Zimwebab in order to select a reputable company.

Here are only a few tips to keep in mind when searching for a reputable drilling company:

1. Experience: The first E on how to choose a reputable drilling company is – Experience. This E is vital. Drilling is far more complicated and involved than simply pushing a casing into the ground.

Every drilling job demands drillers that know what they are doing. And that knowledge comes from experience.

Thankfully, this E is easy to research. Call the drillers you’re considering for you drilling job or visit their websites to see how long they’ve been in business.

It’s also a good idea to ask for references for two reasons. First, the driller will only have references to give if they’re experienced. Second, if the driller is experienced, but not very good, their references will tell you so.

2. Energy: The second E on how to choose a reputable drilling company is – Energy. Experience is vital. But you also want a driller who’s still active in the industry. You want a driller who has the benefit of experience and the energy to get in, do the job right, and get out quickly, letting you get on with your business

To get that balance between experience and energy, you may have to find a drilling company that has a team, rather than a solo operator. When checking out drillers, see if they have a range of ages and years of experience represented in their team. That way, you are more likely to get the experience and energy you want for your drilling job.

3. Equipment: The third E on how to choose a reputable drilling company is – Equipment. Experience and energy cannot put a casing into the ground. A driller needs powerful drilling equipment.

Better yet, a driller needs a range of drilling rigs and support equipment to tackle a wide range of unique drilling requirements and projects

Better still, a driller needs a range of the latest and best drilling equipment to provide the best drilling service possible.

When researching who will be your driller, find out if they’re a one-drill rig, one-man show, or a well-rounded team of experienced and energetic drillers with all the equipment currently needed to do the job right.

4.  Easy to Work With: The fourth E on how to choose a reputable drilling company is – Easy to Work With. Finally, if you find a driller that offers the experience, energy and equipment your drilling job requires, make sure they’re easy to work with.

Notice how they talk to you on the phone. Pay attention to how they answer your questions. Get a sense of whether they like being a driller.

Your drilling job can’t be a positive experience if your driller is difficult to work with.

Fact 1: Know Your Borehole Casings

The Preferred Borehole Casing In Zimbabwe Is Class 9 and 10 (Pressure Classes.)

This is because Class 9 and Class 10 Casings are more collapse resistant. The strength of a Casing is often described as collapse resistance.

Fact 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).

Fact 3: There Is No 100% Guarantee

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.

Fact 4: Siting Is Important
Fact 5: Know The Risks
