Unveiling the Depths: The Excellence of RC Drilling with Nakiso Borehole Drilling in Zimbabwe

Nakiso Borehole Drilling has emerged as a leading player in the water resource development sector in Zimbabwe, offering innovative and efficient solutions to meet the growing demand for clean and accessible water. 


Among its arsenal of cutting-edge techniques, Reverse Circulation Drilling (RC Drilling) stands out as a game-changer, enabling Nakiso to provide reliable and cost-effective borehole solutions for various applications.

What is Reverse Circulation Drilling?

Reverse Circulation Drilling is a specialized drilling technique that has gained widespread recognition for its efficiency in obtaining high-quality core samples and maximizing the drilling process's speed. This method involves the use of a dual-wall drill pipe, where the drilling fluid is pumped down the outer annulus of the drill pipe, carrying the cuttings and rock chips up to the surface.

The core sample is then retrieved through the inner tube, ensuring minimal contamination and preserving the integrity of the geological formations.

Advantages of RC Drilling with Nakiso Borehole Drilling:


  1. Faster Drilling Rates: RC Drilling with Nakiso Borehole Drilling significantly reduces drilling time compared to traditional methods. The efficient removal of cuttings allows for faster penetration rates, resulting in quicker completion of boreholes.
  2. High-Quality Core Samples: The reverse circulation method ensures the preservation of pristine core samples. This is crucial for accurate geological analysis, providing valuable insights into the composition and structure of underground formations.
  3. Cost-Effectiveness: With increased drilling speed and minimized downtime, RC Drilling proves to be a cost-effective solution. Nakiso Borehole Drilling's expertise in this technique optimizes the entire drilling process, translating to savings for clients without compromising on quality.
  4. Minimal Environmental Impact: The closed-loop system of RC Drilling minimizes the release of drilling fluids into the surrounding environment, making it an environmentally friendly option. Nakiso Borehole Drilling is committed to sustainable practices, ensuring that water resources are developed responsibly.
  5. Versatility in Applications: RC Drilling is versatile and can be applied to various geological conditions. Nakiso Borehole Drilling's experienced team tailors the drilling approach to suit the specific requirements of each project, whether it be for domestic water supply, agricultural irrigation, or industrial use.

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
