Mining & Infrastructure - Advisory, Delivery, Recovery
Scaling Capability. Structuring Opportunity. Delivering Results.
At TacminMadini, we’ve never followed convention—we’ve shaped it. What started as a specialist consultancy in South Africa in 1996 has grown into a cross-continental delivery partner known for executing complex projects where certainty matters most. When we expanded to Australia in 2018, we brought with us not only our experience but a renewed focus on how disciplined delivery can enable growth, transform regions, and build lasting value.
Now, as we formalise and scale our internal divisions into standalone businesses—BlauKlip and BlueForge—we’re inviting aligned partners to join us in building what’s next. This is more than recruitment. It’s a call to co-create, co-lead, and co-invest in real-world solutions structured to scale.
A Business Evolved. A Structure in Place.
Our journey began in 1996 as a project management and engineering consultancy in South Africa. Since then, we’ve been trusted to lead mission-critical projects in remote, logistically demanding regions and emerging economies—where delivery certainty is non-negotiable. In 2018, the business expanded into Australia, leading to the formal establishment of TacminMadini Australia.
This move wasn’t just geographical—it was structural. Over seven years, we’ve refined our approach into a fully integrated project delivery model that combines strategy, execution, and oversight.
Now, with two core business units—BlauKlip and BlueForge—we’re building on what works. These delivery units have emerged from years of practical application and are now structured to operate independently and scale with confidence. This evolution keeps our execution focus intact while creating a clear path for strategic growth.
Built for Scale: Proven Units, Ready for the Next Step
BlauKlip Real Estate Development leads our infrastructure readiness work—delivering investment-ready, ESG-aligned environments across resource-intensive and remote areas. With a record of integrated delivery across mining and logistics infrastructure, BlauKlip is positioned to expand into new markets that demand speed, control, and sustainability.
BlueForge Asset Management Solutions supports asset lifecycle performance—enabling light and heavy fleet operations through tailored maintenance, cost control, and strategic asset planning. Its systems are built for deployment across multiple projects and regions, giving operators and owners confidence in uptime and cost visibility.
These units aren’t concepts—they’re tried-and-tested enablers of project delivery. With structure and systems already embedded, the next step is partnering for scale.
Leadership with capital and commitment—scaling proven capability into lasting value.
Our Directors and Equity Partners play an active role in growing our businesses. They’re involved in governance, regional leadership, and strategic commercial input—bringing either seed capital, growth capital, or both.
As we scale BlauKlip and BlueForge, we’re seeking equity-aligned partners ready to take a stake in operationally mature, delivery-focused units. Equity is matched to contribution, allowing partners to lead regions, shape strategy, and co-own future value. This is not just an investment—it’s a chance to lead from within.
Where influence meets opportunity—transforming industry insight into shared success.
As we expand, our core services remain at the heart of our business. Tacmin Venture Partners play a key role in identifying projects that create new pathways for these services—especially in the early stages where execution capability is most critical.
Our Venture Partners bring projects into the Tacmin ecosystem, contributing through origin, insight, and influence. These may include distressed assets, undercapitalised developments, or frontier opportunities. Partners operate independently, without exclusivity, and participate in success through equity, profit-share, or delivery roles.
Venture Partners help power our growth—through real projects that activate our delivery capacity and expand our reach.
Insight that drives direction—shaping what’s next, not just supporting what is.
Strategic Advisors ensure our business evolves with purpose. They support transitions, advise on expansions, and strengthen governance and structure.
These individuals come from diverse professional backgrounds—ESG, engineering, capital, innovation—and apply their expertise at high-trust moments in our journey. Their role isn’t operational, but directional: guiding where the company should go, how it should grow, and how to ensure that growth remains grounded and sustainable.
Strategic Advisors help sharpen our model while preserving the delivery-first values we’ve stood by since 1996.
Shape the Next Chapter With Us
Our track record is clear. For nearly three decades, TacminMadini has delivered measurable outcomes in mining, infrastructure, and regional development. Today, with embedded systems and scalable delivery units in place, we’re inviting partners to shape what comes next.
Whether you're a capital partner, project originator, or seasoned advisor—there’s a place to lead, build, and contribute meaningfully.
This is more than an invitation to support our growth. It’s a platform to help shape it.
