Know the Difference Between Class 9 and Class 10 PVC Borehole Casing in Zimbabwe
When it comes to drilling a strong, long-lasting, and high-yield borehole, one crucial factor often overlooked is the quality of the borehole casing. At Nakiso Borehole Drilling, we believe a borehole is only as strong as the materials used to build it.

What Is Borehole Casing?
Borehole casing is the pipe installed into the drilled hole to prevent collapse, protect the water from contamination, and ensure steady water flow. Quality borehole casing in Zimbabwe is essential due to varying soil types, hard rock formations, and groundwater pressure.
Class 9 vs Class 10 PVC Casing: The Difference
Characteristics
Thinner wall thickness and lower pressure handling capability.
Best Use Case
More affordable upfront and suitable for shallow or soft ground, but more prone to cracking over time in hard rock formations.
Superior Strength
Thicker walls designed to handle higher water pressure and resist crushing and collapse.
Longer Lifespan
Perfect for deep boreholes and rocky ground, delivering better long-term value and security.
Why We Prefer Class 10 PVC Casing
At Nakiso Borehole Drilling, quality is not optional — it is our standard. Zimbabwe’s underground conditions demand strength. That is why we prefer Class 10 PVC casing for most of our projects.
Structural Integrity
Stronger support against borehole collapse and better protection against soil movement.
Better ROI
Long-term water security reduces maintenance costs, offering a higher return on investment. Simply put: Class 10 is a smarter investment.

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
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.
Fact 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.
