Casing is a large-diameter pipe that is assembled and inserted into a recently drilled section of a borehole.
We instal uPVC the 140mm and/or 180mm borehole casings and they come in two pressure classes, Class 6 and Class 10.
Borehole casings are manufactured with selected PVC compounds to provide absolute non-corrosive pipes with excellent mechanical properties. |

Advantages Include:
1. Corrosion: The chemical inertness of uPVC makes them insensitive to all forms of corrosion, thus being excellent products for use in Borehole Drilling.2. Cost-effective: Lower installed cost compared to conventional (steel) casings.
3. Easy handling and installation: Tough, rugged material, with easy to assemble joints.
4. Lightweight: Much lighter than steel casings, makes them user-friendly installations and saves time.
5. PVC plastic material: Resistant to corrosion as well as acids and alkalis found in some soils. No additional protection required.
6. Internally and externally flush jointed: Easy installation in a borehole and improved flow of pumped water.
7. High modulus of elasticity: Makes for stiffer casings and screens which can be designed for boreholes up to at least 200m deep.

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.
