Case studies

Zero waste is achieved when operations see everything that matters the moment it matters. Most plants already collect data, but without governed SCADA signals, accurate IoT sensing and disciplined automation insight, waste stays hidden and opportunities go unrealised. TacminE brings engineering rigour to the digital backbone that drives modern performance, unifying real-time visibility, data integrity and actionable intelligence. The result is a clear pathway to eliminating energy waste, improving stability and securing measurable, repeatable gains across complex industrial environments.

The consequences were real. In a single quarter, downtime climbed by 12% — equal to more than 80 hours of lost production, over USD 5 million in deferred output, and millions more once penalties and emergency repairs were added. Put another way, a modest 5% reduction in downtime could have returned more than USD 2 million annually to the bottom line. This wasn’t about missing technology. Modern fleets already come fitted with telematics, diagnostics, and reporting systems. The real issue was the absence of an integration platform to convert those streams into coherent, decision-ready intelligence.

 

As ESG obligations continue to evolve, environmental consultants face growing pressure to ensure that mine rehabilitation efforts are not only well-designed but fully constructible, trackable, and auditable. TacminMadini bridges the gap between closure intent and on-ground execution with a structured model that transforms rehabilitation designs into deliverable, cost-controlled outcomes. Whether the focus is on progressive rehabilitation or full-site closure, our approach brings execution certainty to ESG-driven mandates, ensuring compliance, transparency, and real-world performance.

In contract mining, few things sting more than the feeling of being ripped off—whether you're the contractor chasing fair compensation, or the project owner left footing an inflated bill. After decades of operating on both sides, one truth stands out: most disputes don’t start in courtrooms—they start on site, when an irregularity is first raised and never properly addressed. Our expertise has seen it firsthand. We’ve worked in project recovery as contractors, owners, and advisors, and time and again, the real damage begins with early misunderstandings that go unresolved. That’s why we created Project First Response—a rapid, structured service designed to intervene before disputes spiral out of control.

TacminMadini was appointed as the construction project manager, working under the direction of our lead engineering firm. Their Digital Construction Management (DCM) methodology quickly became the backbone of the project—transforming day-to-day construction activity into a system-driven delivery environment where every stakeholder operated from the same set of facts.

To support meaningful comparison across the four contractor-run mines, TacminMadini applied a single DCM-based modelling platform across all sites. The strength of DCM lies in its ability to maintain a consistent, structured model framework — enabling different mining methods, such as contractor and owner operations, to be evaluated side-by-side using the same cost logic, scheduling structure, and performance metrics. This ensured that all scenarios were assessed on equal terms, with full transparency and comparability regardless of site-specific conditions or delivery approach.
