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 that is often overlooked is the quality of the borehole casing. At Nakiso Borehole Drilling, we believe that a borehole is only as strong as the materials used to build it. That is why we proudly prefer and recommend Class 10 PVC casing over Class 9 — because we add value to your borehole.
If you're planning to drill a borehole in Zimbabwe, this guide will help you understand the difference between Class 9 and Class 10 PVC casing, and why the right choice matters.
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.
