Borehole Siting

What do you need water for?

To irrigate your garden and top up the swimming pool? To provide household water to a small rural community or farm household? Or maybe even to service a multi-hectare irrigation scheme. Whatever your requirements are, nothing beats a source of cost-effective water right where it’s needed. And in most cases, that solution is a borehole.

Do i need to register my borehole?

Essentially, if you’re using your borehole water for domestic use and small gardening (not for commercial purposes), then you do not need permission or registration in terms of the National Water Act of 1998

Take note that your local municipality can require registration of the borehole. The City of Harare, for example, requires registration. The City of Harare actively encourages residents to drill boreholes as a way to ease the escalating pressure on Gauteng’s water resources. In other Cities in Zimbabwe, drilling of boreholes in suburbs underlain by dolomite bedrock are prohibited due to the risk of dolomite instability, except if certified as safe by an appropriate professionally registered person

Where should i drill the borehole and Where can the drilling rig get to?

Most residential stands are ringed by palisade fencing or brick walls. Just getting a 25 tonne drill rig onto the property can be difficult to say the least. In quite a few cases there are two choices, the start of the driveway, or the middle of the driveway! In industrial properties and farms the choice becomes a lot easier, because access is easier

So keep in mind that you may need to do some deconstruction work to allow the drill rig to access your property, and then once the borehole has been drilled, some building work may be required to restore the area. This will not be included in the drilling costs. While this is a hassle, the reality is that borehole drilling will involve

Borehole Drilling

-Borehole drilling is the creation of narrow, deep hole in the ground known as a borehole. There are a few ways of drilling a borehole but at Seahawks Borehole Drilling we use Ashok and rotary drilling rigs, choosing the best method for drilling based on each location. This is usually compressed air or drilling fluids.

Borehole Flushing

Flushing is an essential part of the disinfection process. It is the process of using the scouring action of moving water to help rid a water supply of contaminants, and it is an essential part of the disinfection process. Flushing normally takes place several times during the disinfection process. In Zimbabwe we mainly do borehole flushing soon after the drilling process or in servicing drilled boreholes making sure that we remove all the mud preventing clean water to come out from the borehole

Mud drilling

In mud rotary drilling, fluid is pumped down the hollow drill pipe, called the kelly, and forced out of jets in the drill bit. That fluid then carries the cuttings, or cut materials, through the hole and up to the surface and the mud is reused either thru a mud containment system or pit
