Eden College wins the SAICE Durban Aqualibrium Competition, securing a spot at nationals with an outstanding display of engineering skill.
WITH beaming pride, the Eden College Aqualibrium team is heading for the Nationals in May after it beat its 14 counterparts in yesterday’s SAICE Durban Aqualibrium Competition 2026.
The school was the host of the water engineering competition, which is an initiative of SAICE, an organisation that aims to support and grow the civil engineering industry in South Africa. The maths and science students were transported into the world of water engineering and sustainability.

“Our deepest appreciation goes to our SAICE Durban leadership, and especially to our chairperson, Suresh Robert, for guidance, support, and continued commitment to developing the next generation of engineers,” the organisers shared. “As we conclude, let us remember that water remains one of our most precious resources, and today has shown us that through collaboration, education, and innovation, we can empower the next generation to protect and sustain it.”
Other participating schools included Umlazi Commercial High School, Rydalpark Secondary School, Queensburgh High School, Maris Stella School For Girls, Intshisekelo Secondary School, Verulam Secondary School, Mountview Secondary School, Westville Boys High School, Seatides Combined Secondary School, Umthombomuhle Intermediate School, Northmead Secondary School, and Curro Hillcrest.
