Engineers & Constructors for mining & infrastructure
Mining is a complex and dynamic industry that requires careful planning and management to ensure the optimal use of resources, the minimization of environmental impact, and the maximization of value. However, many mining projects face challenges such as changing market conditions, technical difficulties, operational inefficiencies, and regulatory compliance issues. To overcome these challenges, mining companies need to adopt a comprehensive and integrated approach to planning and executing their mining activities. This is where an EPC plan for operating mines comes in.
An EPC plan for operating mines is a service that involves the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) activities for maintaining and improving an existing mining project. An EPC plan for operating mines is prepared in collaboration between the EPC contractor and owner team, responsible for delivering the project on time, within budget, and according to the agreed specifications.
An EPC plan for operating mines follows the industry standard on LOMP (Life of Mine Plan) studies, which cover all the technical and economic aspects of a mining project, from mine geology, pit optimisation, and mine designs, to equipment requirements and budget forecasts for the life of the mine, with 5-year, 2-year, annual and quarterly mine plans and schedules. An EPC plan for operating mines has several features, benefits, and components that make it a valuable service for mining companies. Some of these are:
An EPC plan for operating mines also offers several benefits for the owner of the mine, such as:
An EPC plan for operating mines consists of several components that cover the different stages and aspects of the project, such as:
A construction plan that describes the methods, procedures, and quality standards for implementing the mine improvement and expansion projects.
TacminMadini’s EPC mining model originated from EPC plans for operating mines - an integrated planning process developed for operating mines that focuses on operational improvement and mine plan and budget conformance excellence.
