Planning a borehole for your home or property in Zimbabwe?

A crucial decision involves selecting the right borehole casing – the essential pipe that lines the borehole and protects both the water source and the well itself.

Borehole Basics in Zimbabwe: Choosing the Right PVC Casing (Class 6 vs. Class 9)

This article explores the two most common casing options in Zimbabwe: PVC Class 6 and PVC Class 9.

Understanding PVC Casing Classes

Both Class 6 and Class 9 casings are made from uPVC (unplasticized polyvinyl chloride), a strong and durable plastic material. However, key differences exist:

PVC Class 6:

Applications: Suitable for shallow boreholes (up to 100 meters) for domestic water supply, small-scale irrigation, and livestock watering.
Advantages: Lightweight, easy to handle, and cost-effective.
Disadvantages: Limited pressure tolerance, making it unsuitable for deeper boreholes or high-pressure environments.

PVC Class 9:

Applications: Designed for deeper boreholes (up to 500 meters) and applications requiring higher pressure tolerance. Ideal for commercial and industrial use, including large-scale irrigation, mining operations, and industrial water supply.
Advantages: Offers superior strength, durability, and pressure resistance compared to Class 6 casing.
Disadvantages: Heavier and more expensive than Class 6 casing.

Making the Right Choice

Selecting the appropriate casing class depends on your specific needs:

Borehole Depth: For shallow boreholes up to 100 meters, Class 6 might suffice. For deeper projects exceeding 100 meters, Class 9 is essential for structural integrity.
Water Usage: Consider the intended purpose of the water. Domestic needs or small-scale irrigation might be manageable with Class 6 casing. For commercial or industrial applications with high-pressure requirements, Class 9 is the safer option.
Geological Conditions: The surrounding soil and rock formations can influence pressure levels. Consult a professional to assess the geological conditions and ensure the chosen casing can withstand the pressure.

Beyond the Basics: Additional Factors to Consider

While depth, water usage, and geology are primary considerations, some additional factors can influence your casing selection:

Diameter: The casing diameter should accommodate the water pump and allow for future maintenance needs. A qualified borehole driller can help determine the optimal diameter for your project.
Water Quality: Certain casing materials might impact water quality. For example, some lower-grade PVC casings might leach chemicals into the water. Reputable borehole drilling companies like Borehole Experts Zimbabwe use only high-quality, food-grade PVC casings to ensure the safety and purity of your water source.
Environmental Impact: Sustainable practices are becoming increasingly important. Choose a borehole drilling company that prioritizes responsible waste disposal and minimizes environmental impact during the drilling process.
