FACTOR THAT INFLUENCE THE COST OF BOREHOLE CONSTRUCTION

Everybody desires a cost effective and affordable Borehole in his house, office, community , etc. However, have you ever wondered why the cost of borehole varies. In some areas, it costs as high as N500, 000, N1,000, 000 and even more, while some pay as low as N250, 000, N180, 000 and even N120, 000. I am here to give you a breakdown account for this. However, this does not rule out the fact that non professionals can issue a low quite to attract clients and deliver substandard work.
The cost of borehole is influenced by so many factors such as:

1. The Geology of the Environment:
The specific parameter to look out for here is the nature of formation in the sub surface and depth of water table. In the Niger Delta terrain where the depth of water table is as low as 150feet to 250feet, and even 80 feet, the cost of borehole varies between N120, 000 to N250, 000, but to get an accurate quote a proper geological survey is necessary or preliminary investigation is paramount to identifying the exact position of the water table.

2. Number of Casing: A casing is a lining given to a borehole to avoid collapse of the hole, interference of formation on the transmitted water, and more so, to prevent contamination with the aquifer. In an area where the water table is between 80ft to 250ft, you may require 8 to 25 number of casing, which unit cost is about N6, 000. So the more the casing, the more the cost of casing, which overall influence the overall cost of the borehole. For abore hole with water table depth of ove 1000feet, you can expect to pay more for the casing and more so bore hole construction.

3. Type of Drilling Equipment: There are 2 major equipment used for drilling equipment are the manual rig and the motorized rig depending on the parameters of interest. The tripod is used for the manual drilling and does not go beyond 250ft, and as such when you are drilling and does not go beyond this depth, you need the motorized rig. The cost of using a Tripod is N30, 000 for daily use, while for a motorized rig, you need N500, 000 for a daily use. This will overall impact on the cost of Borehole Construction. More so drilling a borehole in a basement terrain, clay or more difficult environment, we recommend a motorized rig. This rig is also required in terrain where water table is as high as 1000ft and more.

4. Type of Submersible Pump: There are types of submersible pumps used for borehole construction, depending on the expected pump rate for the borehole. This pump rate of this system is determined by the horsepower of each submersible pump. A submersible pump with a horsepower of 1.5 cost between N16, 000 and N20, 000 and will not add much to the cost of the borehole construction, but a pump of 9.0 and above horsepower, which cost N85, 000 and above, it will considerably add to the cost of borehole construction. We recommend a pump of 1.5 to horsepower for domestic use, and 9.0 horsepower submersible pump for a commercial pump.

5. Other factors include Water Analysis and Treatment, etc.

what is the average cost of borehole of residential house?

It depends on your location. To give you an accurate quote, let me know your location.
However, for most area in the Niger Delta, it will cost between N150,000 to N250, 000 to execute a borehole project.Have a wonderful day.

Most people need to be aware of what will make them pay high of low for their intended borehole work.

What is the price for Ota in Ogun State?

I have not done any Geophysical survey in Ogun State before, but I know if your area is closer to Lagos, it will not be more than N250, 000, however if you are in a basement terrain, where you have rock intrusion, you will need to do a Geophysical survey to be sure that there is water where u r staying b4 any drilling is done.

Most people need to be aware of what will make them pay high or low for their intended borehole work. Its good news for everybody.

At last, a detailed outlook of Borehole construction process is here to help you understand why borhole construction cost varies.

hello,
can you give for the mowe-ibafo (deeper life camp) axis
also include water treatment and filtration units in the breakdown.
thank u

In my earlier post, I said that a borehole construction in your area will take you between N190,000 and N250, 000 in a normal circumstances, but may vary if there is any peculiarity in the geology of your location.

However, the cost of analysis and treatment of your water depends on the number of parameter we consider after our preliminary investigation of your area. You know that ground water supplies may be contaminated by many sources. Hazardous household wastes, septic systems, lawn and garden chemicals, leaking fuel storage tanks, animal waste, agricultural chemicals, landfills, and leaching of metals from plumbing systems may contaminate water.
We must determine the susceptibility of your Ground water to all these.

Howbeit, to give you a detailed quote,pls send us an email to admin@platiniumglobalventures.com or sales@platiniumglobalventures.com, for a detailed quote. We will provide you all necessary details on a full borehole construction cost in your area. You can call you to notify us after sending your mail to our e mail box if it is an urgent quote.

Hello, i have gone through your thread.
What is the total cost of drilling a borehole in Benin City, including pump and all.
Kindly send your reply to kinzodigital@yahoo.co.uk

Reliability of water supply is the main driver for drilling boreholes and the availability of mains water supply is limited in certain locations. Both domestic, industrial and municipalities rely of underground water system for provision of potable water.

If you are looking for the best borehole drilling companies in Nigeria you would need to contact a professional, who can also offer professional services in water treatment and construction of boreholes in Nigeria.
