About Us
The Geeky Story
Firstly we believe Jesus gave us the talent and ability to do what we do. We will be good stewards of what He entrust to us.
HG is passionate about the field of Hydrogeology and have a special interest in Groundwater modelling (FEFLOW) as a tool to provide cost effective solutions to clients. We are moving more to decision support modelling , through uncertainty analysis using programs that PEST tools. There is so much uncertainty to groundwater modelling it is time we accept it and let allow the flow of information to reach the right places. We are committed to the Bayesian way of thinking, that we start with uncertainty and end with uncertainty. Information reduces uncertainty.
Our experience ranges from Interpretation of groundwater data to form Conceptual Hydrogeological Models and Numerical Groundwater Models for underground and open pit mines.
In the past few years we have been busy in different regions around the world, developing Numerical Groundwater Models. Regions and countries include , USA, Australia (Pilbara region), Argentina, UAE, Germany, Peru, South Africa , African countries Zambia, DRC, Mozambique, Ghana and Guinea. The focus is on helping clients with planning and management decisions in terms of groundwater solutions (pore pressures, water supply, dewatering , cone of depressions and quality impacts from mining activities). Sectors we have worked in include mining (gold, platinum, coal and diamond) , manufacturing and government.
HG aim to solve complex issues by being well-informed on what the data is telling us. Our service will provide you with interpreted data to inform your Conceptual model and Uncertainty associated. HG consulting will always be based on cost effective solutions for your Groundwater models. HG believe in under promising and over delivering as we hold our client’s long-term satisfaction in the highest regards.

Broadacres, Sandton
It was fantastic working with Nico who has excellent expertise in groundwater numerical modeling.
He provided great work on the update of the numerical model for Kinsevere and great technical discussion on the Dewatering optimization.
I highly recommend Nico as a groundwater modeler and I can’t wait for the next update
Nico’s drive for excellence and taking leadership of projects was quite remarkable.
His technical (hydrogeological and modelling) skills ensured project delivery on time and on schedule.
Nico also added valuable comments to ensure that the deliverables were scientifically correct and defendable
Nico has displayed a thorough understanding of geological processes and hydrogeological principals in projects that I have had the pleasure to work with him.
These skills enable Nico to develop robust, defensible and reliable groundwater models.
I recommend Nico as a competent and highly skilled groundwater Modeler

29 to 31st March were existing days. Learning groundwater model with Hydrogeek consulting.
It was very helpful for a beginner like me.
Thanks a lot Nico Van Zyl.
Nico is one of the best trainers of Hydrogeological modeling.
I have good qualifications and a reputation.
I recommend Nico Van Zyl to you without reservation.
Nico is a very competent, professional and passionate hydrogeologist/groundwater
modeller.
His willingness to transfer his specialist skills, methods and walk-arounds in FEFLOW and groundwater modelling makes him a true gem.
With Nico, your modelling project is in safe hands.
I will recommend to anyone to Nico who has strong hydrogeological modeling experiences.
Nico did provide guidance on our Dewatering strategy via the groundwater model which since 2 years we are requesting his support.
Nico, I am impressed with your work quality and we will continue to request your support until we will achieve our target here at Kinsevere Mine (DRC, Haut-Katanga)
