How much does it cost to drill (dig) a Borehole, on an average?

there is already a tank on the ground.
there is already an overhead concrete scaffold with 1 tank above.
there is already a surface pump that transfers water from the big ground tank to the tank overhead.
also, a 1.5HP submersible pump and switch has also been procured.

From this stage what is remaining to have a complete Borehole, and how much will it cost, on an average?

Between Sangotedo, Abijo and Awoyaya along the Lekki Peninsula, I did several boreholes to 90 feet depth very clean water that is comparable with "Pure water" in terms of purity when taken for Lab analysis. Price for each: N550,000 with 1 horsepower pumping machine and concrete protection.

Borehole is basically all about location and depth and the technical expertise we employ

Drilling alone is 10k/ Meter
To get safe water, you need to dig up to 80/120m

Then casing:
N18k / Length

But first you need a surveyor to locate the point where the water is. It costs N20-30k

Which ogun state are you talking about... Apart from sango all other areas are rocky and they bill per meter which is around 8k per meter.. Just drilling.. No casing... And u have to drill upto 120m

AT least around Atan Last Bustop, along Sokoto road, drilling is 350,000 naira at the moment, and that comprises of Materials + cost of drilling + oWo Omo`Onile

SeriouslySense:
informative,in other words, it depends on

1) The location or the layers of rocks in the area
2) The cost of the casing and pipes
3) The cost of logistics
4) The depth of the borehole.
5) The pump

And its easier in the dry season



not easier during dry season, but better during dry season because then, the drillers would have to drill further down to get water.

This is especially GOOD for those who don't do geoGraphical survey.

Also for those who does survey, hopefully they're aware wuru-wuru sef dey for that survey, as some na oluwole.

Drilling during rainy season means during dry season, some might experience shortage of water BUT should you drill during DrySeason, it's very difficult to have issues except it wasn't done well.

Also, would suggest you have an idea of how many casing those around you used. This might be difficult to know but the more people you ask, the more chances you have at getting a viable response.

Also, some drillers would tell you wether you drill during Rainy or Dry season, it doesn't matter, they would even tell you it's their JOB, but no listen Oooo because when matter start, na you go still spend more.

To avoid spending extra, if you can't afford to drill now, buy your matterials early to avoid the everyDay increase in materials.

Also ensure you request for quotation which must include quantity of materials.

Also ensure they use Casings of about 5.5-inches in diameter - this helps so should something (e.g stone) falls through, it doesn't trap the submersible easily. and also it should be thich enough (say like 4 or 5 mm). If not heat inside the soil cool shrink it and that would condem the entire setup causing you to drill another.

Also ensure you don't drill too close to soakAway or gutter or fence. Reason I say not too close to fence is because you don't know if your neigbour would dig their soakAway / gutter and others too close to their fence which would be bad for you.

Also should they drill their own boreHole close to their fence, it's possible it could cause yours to collapse.

Always ensure they show you sample of the Casing & Riser pipes they would be using and that's before you even give them a penny. You must see what they would be buying. Abeg no gree for pictures or Videos no matter the excuse they give or people they claim to have worked for in the past.

Quality of materials, is as important as experience of the driller.

Above all, ensure you're 100% PRESENT & inVolved while they're drilling the boreHole.

Some could write & charge you for 10-Casings , and 12-Rising pipes, but end up buying less. if you not there, how would you know. Even if they Buy it and you see it, doesn't mean they would finally use them all.

Don't be too Big or Small to ask questions.

And no one getting paid by You is too Big to listen or respond to you, even if na President Tinubu sef, so long you're paying him, then He has come down the level to listen to you.

If you're too soft, attach someone strong beside you. If dem open eye for you too much, REPLACE am

The cost isn't stable Ooo. Even the cost of Dollar is more stable.

Also the cost depends on location. At the moment, in certain parts of ogun state, it's anywhere from 250,000 naira to 400,000 naira.

The major things is the cost of CASing & Riser pipes + other materials. Their prices changes per second and I am not exagerating.

MoreOver, other than the submersible pumping machine you mentioned, all theothers ain't among the basic things required to own a boreHole.

See eh, the earlier you drill, the cheaper. Price for materials this morning, ain't same by noon, or evening.

One thing I would say is, take your time to research others within your area, ensure the Casing pipe is at least 5-inches though 5 and half is much better. Also the thicker, the better.

Quality of materials is important to avoid stories that touch.

Also, now is the best time to drill BoreHole Ooo. No matter what they say, DrySeason, to me, is best time to drill boreHole wether you doing geographical survay or not.
