Benoit Wentzinger is a Senior Principal Geotechnical Engineer based in Brisbane with over 20 years of experience focused on investigation, design, construction, and peer review to support dam design, stability assessments, and understanding of soil-structure interactions. He is Senior Services Director for our Queensland 2 Operations.
Clients benefit from Benoit’s experience designing and supervising mine-waste and tailings-storage facilities. This work includes designing dams, conducting stability assessments, modelling complex soil-structure interactions, evaluating bearing capacity and foundation settlement, and analyzing pile groups. He also designs ground anchors, soil nails, and anchored walls; predicts settlement; and develops monitoring programs.
No matter the work, Benoit combines field experience and design principles to construct best-value solutions for clients in Australia, France, New Caledonia, the Middle East, and Vanuatu.
A member of the Australian Geomechanics Society, Benoit has authored and reviewed multiple publications for subjects including upstream tailing-storage facilities, numerical modelling mechanisms, and coal-boiler-ash estimates.
