Andisa Advisory

Andisa Advisory · Continuing Professional Development

A higher, more profound human existence through engineering and science.

We turn current research into competence. Andisa runs ECSA Category 1 workshops in water, hydraulics, coastal and catchment engineering — built on active research, led by an engineer, nationally rated scientist and university academic, aimed at the problems facing South African engineers and municipalities now.

The problem we train for

South Africa's water crisis is, at root, a skills crisis.

The infrastructure is failing because the technical capacity to run it is thinning out — retirements, weak succession, too few engineers per head of population. That is a training problem, and it is exactly where our content sits: flood risk, hydraulics, catchment management, water quality, SuDS.

Our workshops give municipal and consulting engineers competence they can use on a Monday after training — and the Category 1 credits ECSA requires while they build it.

Why Andisa

Three things we put together.

01 / Named authority

Real experts, not a brand

Our workshops carry credible, named, registered engineers/researchers — front and centre, accountable for the content.

02 / Current content

This year's research

Grounded in research published now, not a decade-old manual. Active frontier science projects feed straight into what you learn.

03 / Municipal relevance

Tied to the real problem

Every workshop maps onto the Blue and Green Drop findings, flood risk and SuDS — the work keeping municipal engineers awake. Delivered for your whole team where it counts.

Who leads it

Dr Justin Pringle

PhD · Pr Eng (ECSA 202402862) · NRF Y-rated

Senior Lecturer in Hydraulics and Environmental Fluid Mechanics at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, and a registered professional engineer who has managed hydraulic engineering projects for the eThekwini Municipality. He leads UKZN's environmental fluid mechanics research group and supervises postgraduate work across coastal water quality, river connectivity and ocean energy.
