Securing a reliable water source through borehole drilling is crucial in Zimbabwe. However, navigating the drilling companies and their varying price points can be confusing.
This guide empowers you to make informed decisions by highlighting the long-term implications of choosing quality over drastically cheaper options.
Factors Affecting Borehole Drilling Costs:
The cost of your borehole hinges on several key elements:- Depth and Diameter: Greater depth and wider diameter require more drilling time and materials, raising the price.
- Location: Drilling in remote locations often incurs additional travel charges for the crew and equipment.
- Geological Conditions: Hard rock formations necessitate specialized equipment and expertise, increasing the cost.
- Casing Material: High-quality casings like Class 10 offer superior durability but come at a premium compared to Class 6 casings. At Nakiso Borehole Drilling, we prioritize casing quality.
- Pump and Installation: The chosen pump type and its installation complexity affect the overall cost.
- Cable Type: The electrical cable powering the submersible pump significantly impacts the price. While cheaper options exist, they may compromise safety and longevity.
- Borehole Siting: A crucial initial step to determine the optimal location for drilling.
Tank and Tank Stand: For water storage and distribution.
Standard Price Range with High-Quality Materials and Extended Warranty:The exact price can vary depending on the factors mentioned above. Typically, a borehole in Zimbabwe with best-quality materials and a longer warranty ranges from $3,380 USD to $5,800 USD (before VAT). This generally covers:
- Borehole Siting: $80- $500 USD (depending on complexity and location)
- Drilling and Class 10 Casing (40 meters) from Reputable Suppliers: $1,200 USD - $1,700 USD (before VAT, depending on location)
- Quality Pump and Installation: $800 USD - $1,200 USD (depending on pump type and complexity)
- One-Year to Five-Year Warranty: $100 USD - $1000 USD (estimated cost, depending on the warranty length)
- High-Quality Cable (e.g., Cafca): $200 USD - $400 USD (estimated cost)
- 5000L Tank and 4 Meter Tank Stand: $1000 USD - $1600 USD (depending on material and supplier)
Understanding the Long-Term Value of Quality:
While some companies may offer significantly lower prices, these often come with hidden costs:- Inferior Casing Materials: Cheap casings may crack or corrode sooner, leading to water contamination and the need for borehole rehabilitation or even redrilling.
- Shorter Warranties: Limited warranties offer less protection if problems arise after a short period.
- Low-Quality Cables: Faulty cables pose safety hazards and can lead to pump failure.

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.
