- Professional platform dedicated to providing advice building construction and detailed guide to finding merchants/suppliers as well information on the process of hiring construction equipments from reputable lenders.
We hold conversations with key individual and ceo's where we ask insightful questions that can help anyone planning to embark on their first building project.
We are here the make the process less daunting and to help everyone gain a better understanding of building construction in Ghana and across the African continent.
I think it will be great to adopt some safety protocols to ensure the safety of the workers. ie, respiratory hazards to health, a hard hat to protect against any moving object that could potentially hit someone. Probably analyzing the samples you took to know what you could be drinking. Thanks for the video 🙏🏾
Appreciate the concerned raised. The borehole drilling was undertaken by a private company and we did raise some of concerns with the workers and we believe they will put some of these safety measures in place.
GHANA BOYS: Please protection...protection...protection, Great job A to Z I like it but no protection.
This was eye opening, I have never seen the process from start to end. And all those layers of sand Wow! Thanks for sharing 👍

How much does it cost to drill a Borehole pls
Very informative 👍🏻
Many thanks kwame, your videos have been very helpful and am so grateful. Please give us more videos
Hi Mark, am Johnson. Appreciate you taking the time to watch our video. We will definitely be bringing more videos
@@weltonpropertyadvisory4994 hi what time best for me to call you
Are boreholes usually built for communities ahead of time (before building the homes)
Can this be used in Northern Ghana for the waterless villages so that the villagers can share within their community ?
Very informative, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed the video
@@weltonpropertyadvisory4994 thank you as I'm planning on building soon. I noted your info for the borehole. Would you know around how much it might be to build a wall around 2 plots, 70x100?

@@weltonpropertyadvisory4994 ok thanks
Weston properties,many thanks for your reply in regards toy salty water borehole,please where can I get one of those filtration systems to buy in Ghana and what's the price range for those machines only for domestic use.
I am selling a Reverse Osmosis which will remove the salt from your water. I had a pure water factory but I closed it. Am in Akuapem
@@amorkor4 In reference to the desalination machine,can I please know how much it is. Many thanks. I actually need it only for household use. Please give me the price.
@@dovercliffs9455 All in, I paid Ghc12, 000 but am selling for Ghc9, 000. It is worth it in the end because you can use the water straight from the tap to drink it
@@amorkor4 My water is really very salty,please are u sure the machinery can take out all the salt. It's even saltier than sea water
Thanks, please, let me hear from you.
@@dovercliffs9455 Yes it can take the salt out. It can even let u drink sea water. Do some research on the internet first
very interesting
The Indian guy standing there is the nephew of the owner, monitoring the Ghanaians to make sure they working 😂😂😂😂
Yes. He was the one who runs the machine. He was on our site in Cape Coast too.
@@diaryofayummymommy for real? I just made it up and didn’t know it was true 😂😭
@@Ahoto_papa_bi Yes it's true. He said it belongs to their family business. I asked him just last weekend because the truck was digging a borehole for me.
Do u please dig past the first water you hit ?
What are those pebbles that were poured inside? What is the name and what is its function?
That is the filter pack and it is supposed to filter the groundwater around the perforated (screen) PVC. Technically, the filter pack should fill up to the entire length of the perforated screen. Also note that the size of the pebbles used is dependent on the slot size of the screen.
ALSO, DO COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS ALSO DRILL BOREHOLES AND HAVE GENERATORS AS BACKUP? THANK YOU
It will depend on the location of the building. Most commercial office or retail buildings are connected to the national water system provided by Ghana Water Company but some may opt for borehole as a more cost effective solution long-term. There is hardly any power outages but having a Standby Generator is always a good thing especially if you are operating a commercial facility with multiple tenants.
@@weltonpropertyadvisory4994 THANK YOUI. I LIVE IN NEW YORK CITY. I AM TRYING TO GET AN ACCURATE PICTURE OF THE UTILITY GRID CONDITIONS THERE, AND WHAT I MIGHT HAVE TO DO IF BUILDING ANYTHING. I APPRECIATE YOUR REPLY..
Thanks for sharing. I have a few questions.
How many lengths were used, and what is the length of a pipe..
What schedule PVC were used for the casing .thanks
Going by the video, they used 6-inch pipes for casing. Also, for the PVC pipes, he explained that they dug 100ft, which is about 30 meters. 1 PVC is 3 meters, so approximately, 10 PVCs will be used, or maybe a little one with a few lengths added to it.
How nuch was the drilling?
Thanks for sharing this video experience. How much should one budget for a borehole drilling around Accra area? I would appreciate your feedback and other info you might wish to share with someone considering a borehole around Winneba area. Thanks in advance.
Hello Kwame. I read though your responses to others and noticed you had already answered my question. Thank you. See my message on WhatsApp.

How much does this cost?
The cost varies depending on the location and the nature of the land. We paid ¢8,500 for an all inclusive service (drilling + pipes + water pump). You can send us a message via whatsapp on +233 552499123 and we will will put you in touch with the person who handled our drilling.
How many meters
Please can you tell me the name of the company and also which part of Ghana l can locate them. Thanks you have done a good work
Kindly Call / Whatsapp +233 552499123 for further information
IS A BOREHOLE (WELL) NEEDED FOR MOST HOMES IN ACCRA, TEMA AREA?
HOW OFTEN DOES THE MUNICIPAL WATER SYSTEM STOP?
IS THE WATER TABLE ABOUT THE SAME DEPTH, OR DOES IT VARY A LOT?
IS THE COST OF THE PIPES PUT IN THE MAJOR PART OF THE COST OF THE PROCESS?
Most of the new developments or new sites as the are popularly termed are not connected to the national water system so you may find that a lot of such estates have dug boreholes to serve the residents.
@@weltonpropertyadvisory4994 THAT SEEMS ODD TO ME. IN NEW YORK CITY WE HAVE A STRONG GRID FOR ALL UTILITIES. HAVING TO HAVE A WELL AND WATER TANK AND GENERATOR IS LIKE BEING OUT IN THE COUNTRYSIDE. DO NEW HOMES ALSO HAVE TO PUT IN A SEPTIC SYSTEM? AND ARE THE GUTTER SEWERS IN FRONT WHERE ONLY RAIN GOES, OR IS IT ALSO FOR SEPTIC TOO?
Please how much does it cost

Please how can you tell the water that's going to come out will be salt free?I have a hand made borehole at home in Accra and unfortunately the water came out very salty.
Usually locations close to the seaside tend to be salty. There are laboratories where you can carry out tests to check the purity and establish if the water is suitable for drinking. You will definitely need a filtration machine in our case.
My water has iron in it. You cannot tell in advance what the water will be like. I am selling a Reverse Osmosis for a very reasonable price. That will remove all the salt and make the water drinkable
look at the way this India guy all relax and our country men doing all the hard work.this is soo sad
I noticed that as well and was thinking the same thing
Hii sir

That looks like oil, not water.
It's definitely water, we will be posting new video of water pump being fitted with clean water coming from the borehole.
