Borehole Drilling in Lagos

Survey before drilling

A borehole is a site-specific project, so the depth and result should not be assumed from a nearby property alone. A geophysical assessment can help identify a suitable drilling point and give the contractor better information before mobilisation. This is especially useful where several possible locations exist on the property.

Access for the drilling team

The rig and supporting equipment need practical access to the drilling point. Tight Lagos plots, completed buildings, estate restrictions and overhead cables can affect where equipment can be positioned. Discuss access before paying for mobilisation, particularly if the property is already fully developed.

Water quality and the complete system

Drilling is only one part of the job. The quotation should clarify casing, development, yield testing, pump selection, electrical connection and any water-quality testing included. In some coastal parts of Lagos, groundwater quality can vary significantly, so treatment needs should be based on the water actually produced rather than assumed in advance.

Before choosing a drilling contractor

Ask what is included, how depth variations are priced, what happens if drilling conditions change and what records you will receive after completion. Skillland can help you compare borehole drilling contractors in Lagos based on the actual site and scope.
