Adapting to the new normal in mining: A comprehensive EPC Strategy for sustainable mining outcomes
TacminMadini was founded on decades of experience gained from Tacmin Group, whose core team members have worked as engineers, consultants, and project managers on numerous technical, operational, and mining challenges across Africa. Before founding Tacmin Group, its core team members had established careers as project managers, engineers, civil and mining contractors, where they extensively applied Digital Construction Management Systems (DCMS) to manage complex mining and construction projects effectively.
Since its inception in 1996, Tacmin Group has integrated DCMS aligned with PMBOK principles into their consultancy, project management, and engineering services. This approach consistently delivered successful outcomes, enhancing project efficiency, reducing costs, and ensuring timely delivery, providing measurable value to mining clients on open-pit mining projects across Africa.
Recognizing the growing need for flexible and resilient project delivery methods in the post-COVID landscape, Tacmin Group conducted extensive research to bring their proven methodologies to a broader audience. This led to the founding of TacminMadini in 2018, an Australia-based EPC mining company strategically positioned to leverage Australia’s strong mining sector and advanced EPC capabilities. Establishing TacminMadini as an EPC contractor in Australia allowed Tacmin Group to bring their comprehensive, single-source EPC approach to a global stage, addressing complex project challenges with integrated, client-focused solutions for mining clients worldwide.
