Complete turnkey drilling rigs β water bore-well, blast-hole, DTH, top-hammer and rotary-percussion β engineered for African geological conditions, water tables, mining depths and remote-site mobility. Crawler-mounted, truck-mounted and skid-mounted configurations from 100 m to 800+ m drilling depth.
From site survey to a fully-developed, tested borehole β a 6-stage drilling process delivering water-well, mining or geotechnical bore-holes engineered for African conditions.
Borehole location, geological strata assessment, water table depth, target diameter and final use determined
Crawler / truck / skid rig mobilised to site, jacks levelled, mast erected, compressor & mud pump positioned
DTH / rotary / top-hammer drilling with compressed-air or bentonite-mud circulation; cuttings continuously flushed
PVC / steel casing pipes lowered, gravel-pack & bentonite seal installed, well-screen positioned at aquifer
Compressor / pump development, yield test, water quality sampling, drawdown & recovery testing
Documentation, well-completion report, operator training, AMC & spare-parts contract
Our turnkey drilling rig package covers the complete drilling system β rig with mast and rotary head, on-board compressor or mud pump, drill rods, drilling tools (DTH hammer, bits, drag tools), casing pipes and complete operating tool kit.
Equipment is pre-assembled, performance-tested and inspected at our partner facility before container shipment to Africa, where our engineers handle commissioning, on-site drilling demonstration and operator training.
Granite, limestone, sandstone, basalt, weathered & fractured rock β our rigs are specified for the harder African geology, not soft European sediments. Tested in Zambia, Kenya, Ghana & Tanzania.
Crawler-mounted for remote off-road sites, truck-mounted for fast-mobilisation projects, skid-mounted for fixed installations β choose what suits your project mobility & transport infrastructure.
Heavy-duty pull-down (up to 18 ton) and high rotation torque (up to 18,000 Nm) handle hard-rock conditions where smaller rigs stall. More productive metres per shift.
Self-contained β no external compressor truck needed. On-board diesel compressor (up to 35 mΒ³/min @ 25 bar) plus mud pump option for switching between air & mud drilling on the same hole.
Switch between DTH, rotary-percussion, top-hammer and mud rotary on the same rig β adapt to changing geological strata in a single borehole.
Standardised wear parts (DTH hammer pistons, bits, rod threads, hydraulic seals) stocked locally through Vezora Spare Parts. AMC & on-site service teams across Africa.

* Specifications are indicative. Final depth/diameter capability depends on geological conditions, drill-rod size selected and end-use application.
Vezora drilling rigs adapt to multiple methods and applications β switch between water-well drilling, blast-hole production, mineral exploration and geotechnical investigation on the same equipment.
Village, agricultural, municipal & industrial water-supply boreholes, 100 mβ600 m depth.
Production blast-holes for open-pit mining & quarrying β 4"β6.5" diameter.
Reverse-circulation (RC) and rotary exploration drilling for sampling & resource definition.
Soil investigation, foundation piling, micropiles & rock-anchor installation for civil works.
Geothermal heat-exchange, dewatering wells, environmental monitoring boreholes.
From municipal water utilities to mining majors, exploration companies and water-bore contractors β Vezora drilling rigs serve every African drilling sector.
