Borehole Drilling Prices For June 2020:
Drilling a borehole is an exciting process. We have taken the time to compile the information that you will need to put your mind at rest before you make an informed decision. There are steps involved between the moment you decide to invest in a domestic borehole, and getting water pumped out of the earth. We thought it beneficial for our clients to understand the steps:
involved, so we outlined the four steps below.
1. Borehole Siting In Harare: $80.00
- Extra Metres After 40 Metres: $35.00 per metre
Once the drilling target is determined, the next phase is the actual drilling of the borehole. Many people are under the mistaken impression that when you simply drill, there is an immediate endless supply of water. There is a lot that needs to happen before this occurs. We will discuss the drilling options available, but the general drilling method used in domestic borehole drilling is known as “down-the-hole” air flush rotary percussion. A pneumatic hammer and drill is operated at the end of the drill pipe and rapidly strikes the rock, while the drill pipe is slowly rotated. Shattered splinters of rock are removed from the borehole continuously by the air used to drive the hammer. This drilling process is very noisy and can become dusty, muddy and very messy. Domestic Boreholes are initially drilled at 215mm in diameter through the topsoil and weathered overburdened rock. This facilitates the installation of a steel casing of 165mm. Casing is usually only required through the unstable overburden. However, high yielding fracture zones may require that the borehole is cased from top to bottom.
5. Borehole Flushing. $250.00
6. Pump Fishouts: $300.00
7. Tank and Tank Stand Installations: $900.00
- Borehole Deepening: $55.00 per metre
