3. Cost Factors Explained
This is where companies often cut corners. Class 6 is thinner and cheaper, suitable only for hard rock. Class 10 is thicker and stronger, mandatory in sandy areas like Harare to prevent the borehole from collapsing.
Most Harare-based companies charge a mobilization fee for projects outside a 20km radius. This typically ranges from $2 to $3 per kilometer.
4. The Drilling Process
A hydrologist visits to scan underground rock formations and mark the optimal drilling spot. Skipping this step is a gamble you shouldn't take.
The rig arrives and drilling begins. They drill until they hit "strikes"—levels where water enters the hole—stopping once the yield is sufficient.
PVC casings are inserted, and the gap is filled with gravel pack (small stones) to filter out silt.
The hole is flushed with high-pressure air to clean it. Finally, the pump is installed and connected to power and plumbing.
5. Investing in Sustainability
Drilling a borehole increases property value and ensures water security. To ensure longevity, schedule a Borehole Flush-out every 3-5 years and use dry-run sensors to protect your pump.
