KwaZulu-Natal's eThekwini Metro experienced catastrophic infrastructure damage in the 2022 floods, triggering water outages that lasted weeks across Durban, Chatsworth, Phoenix, and surrounding areas. Aging reticulation systems and growing urban demand have made private boreholes essential for residential estates, shopping centres, and industrial parks in the greater Durban region. Coastal areas near Umhlanga, Ballito, and La Mercy generally have more accessible aquifer systems, while inland properties in the KZN Midlands typically require deeper drilling. Depth varies by site — a geophysical survey determines the optimal drill point for each project.
Everest Drilling operates a full-service branch supporting KwaZulu-Natal, with geophysical survey specialists experienced in the province's varied geological conditions — from coastal sedimentary formations to the KZN dolerite intrusions of the interior. Our turnkey service covers survey, drilling, pump installation, and overhead tank construction, delivering end-to-end borehole solutions for Durban clients across the full project lifecycle.
