Borehole Drilling location?

The location of client, rather where the borehole is intended to be drilled is a big factor for costing. Take for instance, some locations are rocky areas and some with impermeable clay. That said, an estimate of yield can be carried out to identify the soil and rock which comprise the aquifer. History of old wells in that location will indicate how far down the water drops during dry seasons and will indicate how deep new wells must be. These are put into account to determine what the cost of borehole in Lagos is? The borehole-experts are always at hand to assist with all your borehole need.

The step to map a site for drilling and also carry out soil testing is to eliminate all guess works. This eventually saves client’s money and time.

Borehole construction may be for different purposes, such as; water extraction, and for other liquids (Petrol, gas). In this article, our focus is on water extractions and the uses of these water and how these usages affect the costing of borehole drilling. For instance, the drilling project to serve drinking and domestic water requires a deeper depth than the one for irrigation on farm land, and so on.

Existing Boreholes in the surrounding

If there is or are existing boreholes in that surrounding, there are certain questions that we at Cleaneat can ask IF we are able to get in touch with the contractor who drilled it. Another approach is by visual inspection and water sampling on the spot can be used to determine if actual soil test is required.

Choice of borehole drilling technique

The choice of either traditional (manual drill) or machine drill is entirely dependent on the objectives of the borehole. This choice is made after examination of the type of land and from history of boreholes drilled in that surrounding. Bearing in mind that a borehole drilled with machine produces better (result) water, it doesn’t come cheap, but it is worth every penny spent as this lasts longer.
