Ensuring transparency and accountability with SPOCS
At the heart of the IPDP model is the Smart Project Oversight Control Solution (SPOCS), built on the foundation of Digital Construction Management Systems (DCMS). SPOCS integrates procurement, scheduling, financial tracking, and risk management, offering real-time tracking and predictive analytics. By converting OEM pricing into unit-rate formats and monitoring contractor performance against the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP), SPOCS delivers operational clarity and cost control. This transparency fosters trust and alignment among stakeholders, enabling informed decision-making and optimised resource allocation.
Addressing complex challenges with targeted solutions
Expanding a large open-pit gold mine required integrating a new pit into the Life of Mine (LOM) production schedule while meeting tight deadlines and overcoming local contractor capacity limitations. TacminMadini’s IPDP model facilitated the acquisition and commissioning of owner-procured equipment, rapid operator training, and the upskilling of a civil contractor into mining operations. By combining owner resources with contractor expertise and leveraging SPOCS for real-time tracking, the project achieved seamless integration, cost efficiency, and alignment with production targets.
Developing tailored engineering and resource plans
Through a comprehensive Life of Mine (LOM) study, including engineering designs for the new pit, the IPDP model provided a roadmap for seamless integration into existing operations. Recognising the client’s commitment to supporting local contractors, the strategy assigned core mining activities to the contractor while the client acquired key equipment to fill capacity gaps. Ongoing support, including upskilling and knowledge transfer, ensured resource optimisation, mitigated risks, and established a foundation for sustainable growth.
Leveraging decades of expertise with OEM partnerships
TacminMadini’s collaboration with Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) was integral to the project’s success. Tender enquiries captured detailed CapEx and OpEx data, which were integrated into SPOCS to convert OEM quotes into precise unit rates linked to production schedules. This alignment ensured timely equipment acquisition and seamless integration into project timelines. Transparent commercial agreements fostered accountability and trust, enabling cost-effective procurement while enhancing the contractor’s capacity to meet global standards.
Setting a new standard for multidisciplinary project delivery
The Integrated Project Delivery Partnership (IPDP) model integrates engineering, procurement, and operational solutions to address mining’s unique challenges. Adapted from proven methodologies in infrastructure and process plant construction, it brings efficiency and discipline to operations. Incorporating ESG principles and capacity-building, the model delivers high-quality outcomes while fostering local economic growth. With tools like TacminMadini’s SPOCS, it ensures real-time tracking, predictive analytics, and financial oversight, aligning stakeholders toward shared goals and setting a benchmark for sustainable mining excellence.
Building capacity for long-term success
TacminMadini’s focus on local capacity-building is a core aspect of the IPDP model. By integrating international expertise with local contractors, TacminMadini supports the upskilling and training necessary for a seamless transition into mining operations. This dual focus ensures that while immediate project objectives are met, the broader goal of building long-term local capabilities is achieved, creating a lasting impact on the regional economy. Through targeted training programs and hands-on support, TacminMadini equips local contractors to meet global standards, enhancing their future growth and operational sustainability.
Conclusion: A comprehensive and competitive approach to project delivery
TacminMadini’s Integrated Project Delivery Partnership (IPDP) model integrates every phase of the project lifecycle, from feasibility through to execution. By combining engineering design, procurement, construction, and operational solutions, TacminMadini offers a comprehensive approach that optimises resources, manages costs, and ensures precise execution. The integration of advanced tools like SPOCS ensures transparency and accountability, while the company's focus on upskilling and local capacity building fosters long-term success. TacminMadini’s IPDP model sets itself apart from traditional models like EPCM and PMC by assuming full responsibility for project outcomes, ensuring greater ownership, resource optimisation, and sustainable results. This holistic approach delivers not only industry-leading project performance but also lasting value for clients and local stakeholders.
