Borehole drilling is a process that involves drilling a hole in the ground to access underground water.
This water can be used for various purposes, such as drinking, irrigation, and industrial use. However, drilling a borehole requires careful planning and execution to ensure that the water source is sustainable and safe for use.
One critical aspect of borehole drilling is the installation of a borehole casing, which plays a crucial role in protecting the borehole and ensuring that the water source remains clean and uncontaminated.
At Nakiso Borehole Drilling, we have years of experience in borehole drilling and installation of borehole casing. In this article, we will provide you with a detailed overview of borehole casing, its benefits, and how we can help you install it from top to bottom.
The casing is installed from the top of the borehole to the bottom, with each section of the casing being connected to the next to form a continuous tube. The casing is designed to be slightly smaller in diameter than the borehole to allow for easy insertion and removal.
Borehole casing is an essential component of borehole drilling that provides protection and contamination prevention for the water source.

What is Borehole Casing?
A borehole casing is a tube-like structure that is installed inside a borehole to protect it from collapsing and to prevent contaminants from entering the water source. The casing is typically made of PVC, steel, or concrete and is installed during the drilling process.The casing is installed from the top of the borehole to the bottom, with each section of the casing being connected to the next to form a continuous tube. The casing is designed to be slightly smaller in diameter than the borehole to allow for easy insertion and removal.
Benefits of the Borehole Casing
Borehole casing provides several benefits for borehole drilling, including:- Protection: The casing protects the borehole from collapsing and becoming damaged by external forces such as soil and rocks.
- Contamination prevention: The casing prevents contaminants such as bacteria, sediment, and other pollutants from entering the borehole, ensuring that the water source remains clean and safe for use.
- Increased yield: Proper installation of borehole casing can increase the yield of the borehole by preventing the mixing of different water sources and by providing a stable environment for the water to flow.
Installing borehole casing with Nakiso Borehole Drilling
At Nakiso Borehole Drilling, we have a team of experienced professionals who can install borehole casing from top to bottom. Our process involves the following steps:- Borehole drilling: We begin by drilling a borehole to the desired depth.
- Casing installation: We then install the borehole casing from the top to the bottom of the borehole. The casing is connected to the drilling rig and lowered into the borehole.
- Cementing: We use a cement slurry to fill the space between the casing and the borehole wall. This provides additional stability to the borehole and prevents contaminants from entering the water source.
- Final touches: We then cut the casing to the appropriate length and install a wellhead on top of the casing. The wellhead is used to control the flow of water from the borehole and to prevent debris from entering the borehole.

Five Facts About Borehole Drilling That You Need To Take Note Of:
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.
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.
