Mining, Energy, Infrastructure & Property Expertise
In today’s mining and infrastructure environment, many projects remain affected by the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. Supply chain disruptions, labour shortages, volatile commodity pricing, and capital pressure have exposed structural weaknesses across the project landscape. Delays, cost overruns, and in some cases, complete standstills have become all too common. At TacminMadini, we’ve listened—closely—to the needs of our clients and the signals from the market. In response, we’ve refined and expanded our strategic project recovery service to offer targeted, outcome-driven solutions to distressed projects that need more than just intervention—they need certainty, structure, and value restored.
Understanding the current landscape
The mining sector continues to face significant pressure. Environmental, social, and health risks have escalated alongside rising operating costs. Capital deployment is under scrutiny, and investor confidence remains cautious. The appetite for business-as-usual execution has diminished. Instead, owners seek partners who can assume delivery risk, restructure underperforming projects, and bring clarity where ambiguity has taken hold.
Our response: Project recovery with precision
TacminMadini’s strategic project recovery service is not a bolt-on or advisory overlay—it is a structured, hands-on approach to bringing failing or at-risk projects back in line with performance expectations. We engage directly with the owner's team, assess root causes, and rapidly deploy the expertise and resources needed to reposition the project for success. We focus on capital efficiency, strategic alignment, and long-term operational resilience.
Minelaunch: Tailored solutions for startups and expansions
Our MineLaunch solution offers a dedicated recovery strategy for mining startups or expansionary developments. It provides structure and visibility where they are most needed—before cost creep, execution delays, or contractor inefficiencies become systemic. MineLaunch aligns commercial objectives with delivery strategies, ensuring that startup projects can proceed with clear planning, appropriate risk controls, and a path to return on investment.
Rapid resource deployment
Time is critical when a project is faltering. Through established networks, TacminMadini responds decisively with rapid resource deployment, activating skilled personnel, specialist contractors, and critical supply chain components. We fill operational gaps and restore on-site momentum, supported by streamlined procurement and logistics strategies that quickly reduce downtime and regain productivity.
AI-driven project improvement
Behind every project we recover is a disciplined digital foundation. Our internal platform, managed by Tacmin.ai, integrates procurement, scheduling, and forecasting into a unified oversight model. It provides real-time visibility into costs, progress, risks, and resource use, enabling faster decision-making and course correction. The result is greater operational resilience and a more accurate picture of where the project stands—and where it needs to go.
Contractors back on track: Restructuring with results
Contractor-related issues are a recurring cause of distress. Whether underperformance, misalignment of scope, or lack of commercial clarity, TacminMadini addresses the problem at its root. We work with owners to restructure contractor agreements and realign delivery through practical, proven models including lump sum, target cost, and performance-based contracts. As your Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) Partner, we assume responsibility for execution and risk, creating a delivery structure built on accountability and measurable results. This protects the owner’s position and enables disciplined, timely completion.
Commitment to collaboration and innovation
TacminMadini is not a service provider—we are a project partner. We work alongside owners, financiers, engineers, and contractors to build a collaborative recovery process. Every solution is tailored to the unique circumstances of the project, the business environment, and the stakeholders involved. With decades of experience across Africa and a growing footprint in Australia, we bring global insight and local application to every recovery assignment.
Conclusion
Distressed projects don’t need temporary fixes—they require structured recovery and a commitment to outcomes. Strategic project recovery by TacminMadini is built for this purpose. It restores value by addressing the true causes of underperformance, realigning the delivery framework, and creating a practical, confident path forward. Backed by our expertise, systems, and delivery-first mindset, we step in when others step away—bringing projects back to life with purpose, precision, and accountability.
