Borehole Experts Zimbabwe | Topic: Cost Analysis
Region: Zimbabwe
Borehole drilling has become a popular solution for addressing water scarcity in Zimbabwe. Whether you are a homeowner, business, or farmer, the need for a reliable water source is evident. But the big question remains: What is the real cost?
At Borehole Experts Zimbabwe, we break down the cost structure, explain the procedure, and offer expert insights to ensure you fully understand your investment.
The Drilling Process: Step-by-Step
Understanding the steps helps clarify why costs vary.
Analyzing the ground's composition to determine the best location and depth. Cost Impact: Essential for feasibility; pricing depends on location.
Drilling to the required depth and inserting casing to stabilize the hole. Cost Impact: Deeper holes and steel vs. PVC casing affect the final price.
Assessing water volume via blow or pump tests. Cost Impact: Requires specific equipment but ensures the borehole meets your needs.
Installing top slabs and caps to protect against contamination. Cost Impact: A minor but necessary cost for safety.
What Influences the Price?
- Depth: Deeper boreholes (100m+) cost significantly more than shallow ones (40m).
- Ground Composition: Hard rock requires advanced equipment, increasing costs.
- Location: Transport costs to remote areas can add to mobilization fees.
- Additional Services: Water testing, pumps, and tanks add to the total investment.
