We ensure that you receive not just a hole in the ground, but a sustainable water infrastructure that provides value for generations.

Critical Factors Determining Borehole Costs

The price of drilling a borehole is dynamic and influenced by five primary variables. Our goal is to minimize your overhead while maximizing the "blow-yield." Key cost drivers include:

  1. Target Depth: Usually measured in meters, with 40m being the residential standard.
  2. Geographical Location: Mobilization fees based on distance from our operation hubs.
  3. Casing Quality: Selection between Class-9 PVC, Class-12, or Steel reinforcement.
  4. Drilling Methodology: Air Percussion (Hard Rock) vs. Rotary Mud (Sandy/Loose strata).

The distance of your site from our primary operations center affects the mobilization cost of our heavy-duty rigs. However, as a nationwide drilling company, we often bundle projects in specific regions (e.g., Mutare, Bulawayo, or Masvingo) to offer reduced logistical rates to our clients.

Standard 2026 Drilling Investment Tiers

While every site is unique, we provide baseline packages to help you budget for your water project.

For residential properties in most Harare suburbs, we offer a highly competitive Standard 40m Package. This inclusive rate covers professional siting, standard Class-9 PVC casing, and drilling until the first sustainable aquifer is tapped. Prices for this tier are generally the most affordable in the market.

Commercial and agricultural projects often require depths ranging from 60m to 120m+. These projects are charged on a per-meter basis beyond the initial 40m. We use high-capacity industrial rigs to ensure verticality and structural integrity at extreme depths, providing the high-volume yield required for center-pivot irrigation and livestock.

Geological Risk & Technical Methodology

Zimbabwe’s geology is diverse. Areas with Hard Rock (Granite) require more fuel and specialized diamond-tipped bits using Air Percussion techniques. Conversely, Soft/Sandy terrains require Mud Drilling to prevent the hole from collapsing. Our veteran drillers (15+ years experience) are experts in navigating these risks, ensuring that the methodologies used are both safe and cost-effective.

Lining, Packing & Pumping Systems

A critical component of the borehole price is the lining. We charge per meter for Class-9 or Class-12 casing to prevent impurities and wall collapse. We also integrate a gravel pack along the casing sides to act as a natural subterranean filter, ensuring the longevity of your pump and the purity of your water.

The final stage of the investment is the submersible pump system. We offer professional advice on selecting the right pump based on depth, flow rate, and pressure. While Solar Pumping systems have a higher upfront cost, they offer a "zero-running-cost" solution that pays for itself by bypassing municipal bills and electricity tariffs.
