CONSTRUCTION DRILLING SERVICE

Borehole Drilling Service

Drill boreholes for homes and estates that can't depend on public water supply, using a portable rig suited to softer soil.

A borehole drilling business sinks water wells for homes, estates and small businesses, using a portable rig, compressor and casing pipes to reach groundwater. Public water supply remains unreliable across most of Nigeria, which keeps private boreholes in constant demand. Income comes from per-job drilling fees plus pump installation, priced mostly by depth. This business genuinely demands serious capital and geological knowledge, and a portable rig only works well in softer, sedimentary soil, not the harder rock found across much of the North.
