Live HEC-HMS and HEC-RAS training is returning to Auckland in March 2022!
Please fill out the registration form below or register your interest to receive updates.
In partnership with New Zealand-based Golovin, our annual HEC-HMS and HEC-RAS course in Auckland continues in 2022 with a 4-day series of courses.
This intensive, interactive set of workshops uses free hydrologic and hydraulic modelling software:
* Day 1: Learn essential skills to set up and run a HEC-HMS model
* Day 2: Apply new GIS tools, gridded rainfall, and other new features using HEC-HMS
* Day 3: Set up and run basic 1D and 2D models in HEC-RAS
* Day 4: Apply terrain modification, bridge, 3D viewing, and other new features using HEC-HMS

Get a head start on the course by trying our “Making Middle Zealand” and “Flooding Hobbiton” tutorials.
And just for fun, watch our video introduction below, in which we have a little fun with HEC-RAS trying to replicate flow constrictions in sheep pens:
Hope to see you in Auckland in March!
Previous course details:
Following the success of our inaugural HEC-RAS course in Australia in 2016, we were pleased to have The RAS Solution and Breaking the HEC-RAS Code author Chris Goodell return to the southern hemisphere to teach a sold-out dam breach analysis course in Auckland in 2016. Since then we have held a number of additional 1D and 2D flood modelling courses in Auckland, Christchurch, Wellington, Manukau, Parnell, Devonport, and Raglan, and we plan to hold additional courses in 2022 subject to interest levels. Please contact us with any queries about holding a course in your area.
