Pure Water, Strong Foundations: The Double Casing Borehole Revolution in Zimbabwe

Water is the heartbeat of Zimbabwe. From the bustling streets of Harare to the fertile farmlands of Mashonaland, every community depends on reliable access to clean water. At Nakiso Borehole Drilling, we believe that boreholes are more than infrastructure—they are lifelines, sustaining families, businesses, and agriculture. That’s why we continually innovate, bringing advanced techniques like double casing to the forefront of borehole drilling in Zimbabwe.


Understanding Borehole Drilling in Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe’s geology is diverse, ranging from hard granite formations to loose sandy soils. This variety presents unique challenges for borehole construction. A borehole must withstand shifting earth, resist contamination, and deliver water consistently over decades. Traditional single casing methods often fall short in unstable terrains, leading to collapses or reduced water quality.

This is where double casing becomes a game-changer. By reinforcing the borehole with two protective layers, Nakiso ensures durability, safety, and purity—qualities that define us as the best borehole drilling company in Zimbabwe.

What is Double Casing?

Double casing involves installing two concentric pipes during the drilling process:

  • Outer Casing: Provides structural support, especially in loose or collapsing soils.

  • Inner Casing: Protects the water channel, ensuring clean flow and preventing contamination.

Together, these layers create a fortified borehole that can withstand geological pressures while safeguarding water quality.

The Advantages of Double Casing

  1. Enhanced Stability

    • Zimbabwe’s soils can vary dramatically within a few meters. Double casing prevents borehole collapse in sandy or unstable formations.

  2. Improved Water Quality

    • By sealing off potential contaminants, double casing ensures that the water reaching your home, farm, or business is pure and safe.

  3. Longevity and Reliability

    • Boreholes are long-term investments. Double casing extends their lifespan, reducing maintenance costs and guaranteeing consistent water supply.

  4. Adaptability to Zimbabwe’s Geology

    • Whether drilling in Harare’s urban soils or rural farmlands, double casing adapts to diverse conditions, making it the most reliable solution.

  5. Peace of Mind

    • Families, farmers, and businesses can rest assured knowing their borehole is built to last, even in challenging environments.

Boreholes as Lifelines

A borehole is more than a water source—it’s a symbol of resilience. In rural villages, it means children can attend school instead of walking long distances for water. On farms, it sustains crops and livestock. In cities, it ensures businesses thrive without interruption.

By choosing Nakiso Borehole Drilling, you’re not just investing in a borehole—you’re investing in the future of Zimbabwe.

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
