What Is A Borehole - Borehole Drilling Basics in Zimbabwe!

Borehole drilling is the process of creating a deep, narrow hole in the ground in order to extract water, oil, or gas. In Zimbabwe, borehole drilling is an important industry that helps provide access to clean, safe water for both domestic and commercial use. At Nakiso Borehole Drilling, we specialize in providing borehole drilling services to clients across Zimbabwe. In this article, we'll cover the basics of borehole drilling in Zimbabwe and what you need to know.



The first step in the borehole drilling process is to locate a suitable site for drilling. This requires an assessment of the geology and hydrology of the area to determine the best location for drilling. Factors that need to be taken into consideration include the depth of the water table, the quality of the water, and the type of rock and soil in the area.

Once a suitable site has been identified, the drilling process can begin. At Nakiso Borehole Drilling, we use state-of-the-art equipment and techniques to drill boreholes quickly and efficiently. Our drilling rigs are capable of drilling to depths of up to 300 meters, depending on the site conditions.

During the drilling process, a borehole is created by drilling a narrow hole in the ground using a drill bit attached to a drilling rig. As the drill bit penetrates the ground, it creates a hole that is lined with a casing to prevent the sides from collapsing. This casing is usually made of steel or PVC and is installed as the drilling progresses.

Once the borehole has been drilled to the required depth, a pump is installed to extract the water. The type of pump used depends on the depth of the borehole and the amount of water that needs to be extracted. At Nakiso Borehole Drilling, we use submersible pumps that are placed at the bottom of the borehole and are capable of pumping water to the surface.

Finally, the borehole is tested to ensure that the water is safe and of good quality. This involves taking water samples and sending them to a laboratory for analysis. If the water is found to be safe, the borehole is ready for use.

In conclusion, borehole drilling is an essential service in Zimbabwe that provides access to clean, safe water for domestic and commercial use. At Nakiso Borehole Drilling, we specialize in providing reliable, efficient borehole drilling services to clients across the country.
