Long Waiting Times for Borehole Drilling: Why It Happens and How Ragnarock Solves It

In Zimbabwe, demand for boreholes has grown rapidly as households, farms, and businesses look for reliable water solutions. Unfortunately, many customers face long waiting times for drilling, sometimes stretching into weeks or even months. These delays can be frustrating and costly, especially when water is urgently needed.

At Ragnarock Drilling, we understand that time is critical. That’s why we’ve invested in systems, technology, and teams that ensure drilling is done efficiently and on schedule.


1. Why Long Waiting Times Happen

Several factors cause delays in borehole drilling projects:

a) Overbooked Drilling Companies

Some companies accept more projects than they can handle, creating long backlogs.

b) Poor Scheduling

Inefficient planning often results in wasted time between jobs and delayed mobilisation.

c) Limited Equipment

Companies with only one or two rigs may struggle to meet demand, especially during peak dry seasons when requests spike.

d) Logistical Challenges

Transporting rigs and equipment to remote areas can take time if not planned properly.

e) Unreliable Contractors

Sadly, some companies make promises they cannot keep, leaving clients waiting indefinitely.


2. The Impact of Delays

Long waiting times affect more than just schedules:

  • Households go without safe drinking water and sanitation.
  • Farmers miss critical planting or irrigation windows, leading to crop losses.
  • Businesses face operational setbacks without reliable water.
  • Costs rise, as clients may need to buy water deliveries while waiting.

Time lost is money lost — especially in agriculture and business.
