PhD (Civil Eng)
Biography
Dr Theuns Henning is a specialist in Infrastructure Asset Management. Theuns received his ME (Transportation) from the University of Pretoria, South Africa, his PhD at the University of Auckland, where he held a Foundation for Research Science and Technology Bridge Future Scholarship.
He has worked on many projects with various agencies including the World Bank. His research includes condition deterioration modelling, asset management systems and optimisation of infrastructure renewal and replacement programs including road pavements, water pipes and bridges.
He is a leading expert on how asset management can be used to manage long term performance contacts.
