A Guide to Borehole Installation in Zimbabwe
For many Zimbabweans, a borehole is the key to unlocking a clean, reliable water supply. But the installation process can seem complex. This guide from Sona Solar Zimbabwe breaks down the key steps to help you navigate this vital investment with confidence.

The 5 Key Stages of Borehole Installation
The journey to a functional borehole begins with a thorough site assessment. Reputable companies like Borehole Experts Zimbabwe and Mutare Boreholes conduct detailed evaluations, considering geological formations and potential contaminants to pinpoint the optimal drilling location for a sustainable water source.
Once the ideal spot is identified, the drilling begins. Professional teams use robust rotary drills to create a standard 140mm diameter borehole, efficiently extracting underground debris as they penetrate the earth to the required depth.
For long-term safety and functionality, the borehole must be cased. A high-quality Borehole Casing PVC Pipe lines the borehole walls, preventing collapse and protecting the water from surface contamination. The required depth of the casing depends on your specific ground conditions.
With the borehole drilled and cased, it's time to access the water. The pump installation is a crucial stage, as the type of pump must match your intended usage (e.g., residential, commercial, or agricultural). Consulting with a professional company ensures your pump selection aligns perfectly with your needs.
Before the system is commissioned, a yield test is essential to determine the sustainable water flow rate. Following this, water treatment options should be considered, especially for drinking water. Reputable companies offer top-of-the-line testing services to guarantee the safety and quality of your water.
Why Partnering with a Local Expert is Crucial
While this guide provides a clear overview, nothing replaces the value of local expertise. Companies like Borehole Experts Zimbabwe have the experience to navigate Zimbabwe's specific geological landscape, guiding you through the entire process to ensure a successful and sustainable installation.
