Drilling And Blasting

Blast hole Drilling is a technique used in mining whereby a hole is drilled into the surface of the rock, packed with explosive material, and detonated. The aim of this technique is to induce cracks in the inner geology of the surrounding rock, in order to facilitate further drilling and associated mining activity. Blast hole drilling is traditionally used wherever the mining company wants to explore the mineral composition or potential mineral yield of the area demarcated for their mining interests. Blast holes are thus a fundamental step in the exploratory mining process, and can be employed in both surface mining operations and underground mining operations to varying degrees with varying effects or results.

Solar Powered Borehole Systems

Solar Powered Boreholes are powered by photovoltaic panels. Once you have the panel, all the energy you need comes from the sun and is completely free! It is designed for use in boreholes, irrigation systems, or the power supply network is not available, or when the user wishes to save on energy consumption. This is a major advantage over Electrical or Fuel powered pumps which require you to constantly buy fuel or electricity. Fuel can add a significant cost to your farm irrigation. Using free solar energy is also an advantage over manual irrigation which takes up a lot of your valuable energy and time.

Electrical Borehole Pump Installation & Water Reticulation

With over 9 years experience in the Zimbabwe Borehole Drilling Industry, we can help our clients build a new alternative water supply system and make the most of it DrillForce Drilling has vast experience in designing borehole pump system eqquiping and water reticulation whether working with our own borehole installations or those provided by third parties. Following borehole drilling, & where necessary capacity testing, we design the appropriate water reticulation system to suit the client’s requirements. The characteristics of the borehole & available groundwater along with the needs of the end-user in terms of flow-rate and delivery pressure will all be taken into account during the design process. Working to the highest standards DrillForce Driling will complete the construction of a borehole to our own specification and where necessary the client’s derived specification. All connections to new and existing water delivery pipework will then be made.

Boreholes are effective ways of tapping into the water bearing aquifer below the ground and pumping the water to the surface. Boreholes for extracting water consist essentially of a vertically drilled shaft, a strong lining (casing) to prevent collapse of the walls, which includes a means of allowing clean water to enter the borehole space (screen), surface protection, and a means of extracting water. The exploitation of ground water is a complicated process which involves sinking a narrow shaft into the ground to reach the aquifer by using a drilling rig. Failure is sometimes experienced when carrying out borehole drilling operations or when using installed borehole systems. These failures are caused by several complications which may arise from poor maintenance and rehabilitation of boreholes, lack of expertise poor choice of technology, and poor supervision of the drilling project In order to prevent these complications, the following measures must be taken: proper maintenance and rehabilitation of bore hole, proper pump installation and maintenance, proper supervision of borehole projects, the use of appropriate drilling technology and the standardization of borehole design and drilling process.
