What Are The Factors That Affect The Cost Of Borehole Drilling In Zimbabwe?
Having a borehole drilled anywhere in Zimbabwe undoubtedly brings with it several great benefits.
In fact, we have written a whole blog on the topic – you can find it here!
However, what many people fail to realise is that installing a Borehole isn’t a one-size-fits-all process. There are various factors that affect a project’s cost, and the team here at ProWater Solutions, who provide various geotechnical services across Zimbabwe, wanted to look at what makes up Borehole Drilling costs in Zimbabwe.
1. The Drilling Specifications: It would seem silly not to start with the drilling of the borehole itself. Both the depth and the diameter of the borehole affects how costly your project is going to be.
1. The Drilling Specifications: It would seem silly not to start with the drilling of the borehole itself. Both the depth and the diameter of the borehole affects how costly your project is going to be.
Understandably, the deeper you drill the borehole, or the wider you have it, the more expensive your borehole will be. These factors unquestionably inform the Borehole Drilling Cost more than any other. Likewise, the type of casing used to line the Borehole will have an effect on the price. PVC casings are cheaper than steel tubing but less durable. If your Borehole is going to be getting serious usage, then it’s worth investing in materials that are going to last.
2. Where Is The Borehole Being Drilled? For domestic projects, the closer the borehole you are installing to your home, the more inexpensive the project will be. Conversely, the greater the distance from the property, the longer the waterline required and therefore the more expensive the project.
3. Water Quality Testing: Once the Borehole Drilling has taken place, you need to guarantee that the water itself is drinkable. After all, it would be a real kick in the teeth to have your shiny, new borehole installed, only to develop health problems because of it further down the line! High nitrate levels in borehole water (which often stem from heavy use of fertiliser, locally) are especially dangerous to the airways of children and the elderly.
Not only this, but an untested borehole can lead to stomach bugs, nausea and diarrhoea. The price of contamination testing depends on how accurate you want to go. Borehole Solutions offers a contamination testing service that you can utilise when you have a water borehole drilled.
4. Transport: Something which clients often forget to take into consideration is the cost of transport. For a geotechnical drilling company to transport their rig equipment is no small task, and can often end up costing hundreds, if not thousands of pounds. On the flip side of this, if the job is local, then you’re not going to be spending much at all on transportation. Thus, again going to show how individual each and every project is, and why the borehole drilling cost can vary so much.
5. Maintenance: It’s also worth remembering that even though they’re fairly self-contained, your private borehole requires annual maintenance to keep it all in working order. This helps ensure the water hasn’t become stagnant (something worth considering if you spend half the year abroad, and halfback home, for example), that the pumping system still works well and that water is flowing as it should be, at an appropriate pressure.
Ultimately, several different factors dictate a water borehole's drilling cost. As we have established, however, factors such as price and materials tend to be the main drivers in determining the financials of an installation job.
