Hydrology & Hydraulic Training Courses in South Africa

PCSWMM, HEC-RAS & stormwater fundamentals for SA consulting teams — practical, standards-aware training. Delta Hydro.

What are H&H training courses?

Our training translates practical hydrology and hydraulic modelling workflows into skills teams can apply immediately—grounded in South African standards and review culture.

Training that sticks after the workshop

We optimise for muscle memory on your toolchain—the same clicks, checks, and figure styles your reviewers expect—rather than abstract theory alone. Exercises are scoped so junior engineers can finish them in-session with mentor support.

Bridging to live projects

Where teams move straight from training into a live submission, we can align the final module with a current project file (under confidentiality) so lessons land on real geometry and policy constraints.

What we typically need from you

Team size, software versions (PCSWMM, HEC-RAS, MIKE), and lab machine specs
Example projects or catchments you want exercises built around (anonymised)
Municipal or client review checklists you need trainees to satisfy
Desired outcomes (onboarding, model QA, flood/stormwater workflows) and duration

Where we add technical depth

Hands-on modules with realistic QA checkpoints reviewers actually use
SA standards context woven into exercises—not generic international examples only
Slide packs and model templates your team can reuse under agreed IP terms
Optional assessments or attendance documentation for HR records

When do you need this?

Onboarding graduates into flood and stormwater workflows
Upskilling teams before major project reviews
Client-specific toolchains (PCSWMM, HEC-RAS) with SA context

Our approach

1

Curriculum alignment

Match modules to your software stack and project types.
2

Hands-on labs

Work through realistic catchments and model checks.
3

Review expectations

Teach what reviewers look for in hydrology/hydraulic submissions.

What you'll receive

Course materials and exercises
Attendance certificates (where applicable)

Relevant SA standards

SANRAL and municipal review expectations (as module topics)

FAQ

Public or in-house?

We run in-house cohorts primarily; public dates can be arranged for larger groups.

Software licences?

Clients typically provide lab licences; we advise minimum versions beforehand.

Course duration?

Typical modules run 1–3 days depending on depth and exercises required.

Can content be recorded?

Recording is agreed per engagement and intellectual property terms.

Prerequisites?

We tailor prerequisites—basic hydraulics familiarity helps for advanced modelling modules.
