Borehole Drilling Costs or Prices In Zimbabwe and Everything You Need To Know About Boreholes!

Region: Zimbabwe
Boreholes are a vital source of water for many communities in Zimbabwe, providing a reliable and sustainable way to access clean drinking water. However, the cost of drilling can be a significant investment.
We explore the current drilling prices in Zimbabwe and everything you need to know before you drill.
Drilling Cost Estimates
Prices vary by depth and location. Here are the average market ranges.
SHALLOW BOREHOLE (<100m)
Common for high-water-table areas. Includes standard casing.
Ideal for: Basic domestic use.
MEDIUM DEPTH (100m - 200m)
Required for areas with lower water tables or harder rock formations.
Ideal for: Large homes & small farms.
DEEP BOREHOLE (200m+)
Specialized drilling for industrial use or very dry regions.
Ideal for: Commercial & Industrial.
What You Need to Know
Key factors to consider before drilling.
- Drinking Water: Reliable, clean source for households.
- Irrigation: Reduces reliance on rain/municipal water for crops.
- Industrial: Supports manufacturing and mining processes.
- Depth: Deeper holes cost more in labor and fuel.
- Location: Remote areas incur higher transport (mobilization) fees.
- Rock Type: Hard rock (granite) takes longer to drill than soft soil.
Water Quality: Always test water after drilling to ensure it is safe for drinking.
Maintenance: Regular checks on the pump and casing ensure longevity.
Drilling Methods
We utilize various techniques depending on the terrain:
- Rotary Air Percussion: The most common and efficient method for Zimbabwe's hard rock formations. It uses compressed air to drive a hammer bit.
- Mud Rotary: Used in softer, collapsing soils (like Kalahari sands) where "mud" is used to stabilize the hole walls.
- Artesian Wells: Specialized boreholes that tap into confined aquifers where pressure forces water to the surface naturally.
