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.
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.

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.
