1. Feasibility & Capital Strategy
Making owner mining practical, not just possible
At the outset, owner mining looks attractive, but the risks become real once delivery begins. We’ve seen this unfold many times. That’s why BlueForge starts with feasibility inputs that go beyond spreadsheets: total cost of ownership modelling, ownership trade-offs, and site-specific strategies that consider not only what to buy, but how to deploy, support, and maintain it.
These aren’t generic benchmarks. They come from real project delivery, where maintenance plans, mobilisation readiness, and budget discipline were already tested. Our feasibility input lays the groundwork for a plan that’s executable, not just fundable.
2. Fleet & Resource Planning
Getting the mix right before the site gets moving
Before a site sees its first machine, the planning behind fleet size, shift structures, and labour deployment has already set the trajectory for project success or strain. BlueForge provides practical, production-aligned fleet and workforce strategies. We work backwards from targets and timelines to define what’s actually needed.
This approach is grounded in our own project experience, where we’ve had to re-sequence contractor crews, rebalance fleets, or recalibrate shifts to recover schedule. That hard-earned insight now forms the basis of BlueForge’s front-end resource planning.
3. Procurement & Tender Planning
Translating strategy into deliverable scope
Once capital strategies are set, the gap between intention and execution can widen quickly. We prevent that by structuring procurement and tender documents with delivery in mind. Every spec, scope, and evaluation framework is aligned to operational requirements, not assumptions.
Our experience has shown where tenders often fail: unclear contract deliverables, misaligned equipment specs, and poor sequencing. BlueForge pre-empts that, ensuring what’s written can be implemented on site, on time, and on budget.
4. Mobilisation & Site Enablement
Rolling out infrastructure, services, and readiness checks
With contracts awarded and plans in hand, execution starts with boots on the ground. BlueForge manages the full mobilisation effort: site layout, infrastructure setup, logistics planning, and contractor sequencing. From workshops to laydowns, utilities to haulage routes—we deploy the critical enablers that allow mining to start safely and on time.
These are not theoretical plans. They’ve come from years of establishing remote projects, solving for access, weather, workforce turnover, and equipment delays. We’ve channelled that experience into a mobilisation model that avoids false starts and sets the pace for delivery.
5. Maintenance Planning & Infrastructure
Designing support systems that work beyond day one
We’ve seen too many operations struggle because maintenance infrastructure was added as an afterthought. BlueForge reverses that. Our model embeds serviceability into project planning: specifying maintenance bays, tooling, diagnostics, spares storage, and service access that’s fit-for-purpose from day one.
We draw from real-world lessons, where rapid-deploy maintenance enclosures or hybrid workshops enabled continuity when permanent builds lagged. These solutions are integrated into your delivery model, not bolted on later.
6. Execution Oversight & Operational Support
Maintaining systems, sustaining performance, and delivering continuity
Once operations commence, systems must be more than installed—they must be run to standard. BlueForge manages the ongoing performance of fleet and maintenance functions, providing oversight of preventative schedules, breakdown response, spares logistics, and contractor compliance.
This isn’t just about service logs—it’s about real-time coordination, condition monitoring, and reporting that supports audit readiness and operational control. We’ve taken what worked from years in the field and embedded it into a scalable oversight model that enables safe, reliable, and cost-effective mining.
Built to Partner, Ready to Deliver
BlueForge wasn’t imagined in a boardroom—it was built from the ground up, drawing on decades of project execution where engineering had to meet real-world constraints. By consolidating that experience into a single, phased model, we’ve created a turnkey solution for mine owners who want more than advice—they want results.
Collaboration happens through TacminMadini’s Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) model. Once execution commences, we integrate with your teams, contractors, and stakeholders, offering continuity, technical leadership, and delivery certainty without the burden of permanent headcount. Whether engaged through a standalone project or structured under a Master Services Agreement (MSA), our involvement ensures consistent oversight and scalable performance.
From capital strategy to operational readiness, BlueForge integrates the systems, standards, and structure needed to make owner mining not only achievable but sustainable. We don’t just support projects—we deliver them. For more detail visit our website at BlueForge | TacminMadini
