What this guide covers
- What determines borehole depth and yield
- Survey, drilling, casing, gravel pack and development
- Test pumping and water quality checks
- Pump selection (electric vs solar) and storage planning
Step-by-step borehole process
Most successful boreholes follow a strict workflow: site survey → drilling → casing & screens → gravel pack → well development → test pumping → pump installation → storage and distribution.
Key cost drivers
Depth, casing type, geology, accessibility, test pumping duration, pump capacity and whether solar + tank towers are included.
When to call Hydrodrill
If you’re planning a home, farm, school or commercial water system, we can advise on the right survey approach, expected depth range, pump sizing and storage for stable pressure.
FAQs
How long does drilling take?
Time depends on depth, geology and access. Most projects include drilling, development, testing and installation stages.
Do you handle solar pumping systems?
Yes — we design and install solar borehole systems including panels, controllers, mounting structures, and storage.
