When it comes to borehole drilling, the quality of casing used can significantly impact the longevity and efficiency of the water supply system. One of the most reliable and widely recommended casing options is Class 10 casing. But what exactly is Class 10 casing, and why is it important in borehole construction?
What is Class 10 Casing?
Class 10 casing is a high-strength PVC casing pipe specifically designed for borehole applications. It has a wall thickness of 10mm, making it highly durable and capable of withstanding underground pressure.
Made from virgin raw materials, Class 10 casing offers superior strength and longevity. Unlike casings made from recycled plastic, virgin PVC ensures maximum purity, consistency, and resistance to harsh underground conditions.
Why is Class 10 Casing Important in Borehole Drilling?
-
Prevents Borehole Collapse
Boreholes are exposed to intense underground pressure and shifting soils. Without proper casing, the borehole walls could collapse, leading to water contamination and costly repairs. The 10mm thick Class 10 casing provides a strong and stable structure to keep the borehole intact for decades. -
Ensures Water Purity
Since it is made from virgin PVC, Class 10 casing is free from harmful contaminants that could leach into the water supply. This guarantees clean, safe drinking water for households, farms, and industries. -
Corrosion and Rust Resistance
Unlike metal casings that are prone to rust and corrosion, Class 10 PVC casings are non-corrosive. They can withstand underground moisture, chemicals, and harsh environmental conditions without degrading over time. -
Long-Term Cost Savings
Investing in a high-quality 10mm thick casing reduces maintenance costs and extends the lifespan of a borehole. Class 10 casing’s robust nature ensures fewer repairs, less clogging, and consistent water flow for years. -
Withstands High Water Pressure
The 10mm thickness allows Class 10 casing to handle high water pressure without warping or cracking. This makes it ideal for boreholes supplying large volumes of water, whether for domestic, agricultural, or industrial use. -
Environmentally Friendly
Since it is made from high-grade virgin raw materials, Class 10 casing has a lower environmental impact compared to inferior plastic casings that degrade quickly. Its long lifespan means less waste and reduced need for replacements.
Conclusion
For anyone considering borehole drilling, using Class 10 casing with its 10mm thickness is not just a recommendation—it’s a necessity. It ensures structural integrity, clean water supply, and long-term performance while reducing the risk of borehole failures.

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.
