Selection depends on terrain, solver needs, and client preferences—we justify the choice.

Can you model bridges inline?

Yes—including piers, scour-sensitive reaches, and afflux constraints.

Do you provide mesh independence studies for 2D?

Where required by the brief, we document sensitivity to mesh resolution.

2D modelling timelines?

Larger 2D domains take longer—schedule depends on extent and data quality.

Do you provide animations for stakeholders?

Where helpful, we can export visualisations—scoped to the review purpose and data limitations.

How we help in Durban

Model selection depends on terrain, structure controls, and the questions the study must answer. In Durban, High annual rainfall, tropical cyclone remnants, and steep coastal topography create aggressive runoff and scour potential in many catchments. Our team supports projects across KwaZulu-Natal with studies scoped for municipal and DWS review cycles.

Durban sits within KwaZulu-Natal, where eThekwini coastal management and stormwater requirements are central to approvals along the urban corridor and estuarine margins. For this service, we emphasise defensible hydrology, clear assumptions, and deliverables that integrate with your professional team—survey, civils, and environmental practitioners—so approvals move without rework.

When do you need this?

Flood inundation mapping for planning and safety cases
Bridge and culvert hydraulic performance and afflux
Dam break and downstream routing studies
