Audits & readiness assessments
The evidence you need for decisive action
TacminMadini’s Audits and Readiness Assessments establish an objective, defensible understanding of a project’s real condition before any recovery or improvement effort begins. We examine the commercial position, delivery systems, technical foundations, and resource capacity underpinning mining and infrastructure operations, giving owners and investors a factual baseline for confident, risk-managed decisions. This phase reveals constraints, exposes vulnerabilities, and highlights opportunities for stabilisation and uplift — safeguarding capital, strengthening governance, and preparing the project for decisive, targeted intervention.
OUR FOCUS AREAS
Know the truth before you commit
Are your tenders, agreements, and commercial structures truly supporting your project — or silently exposing you to risk? |
| Many projects proceed on contracts that look sound but fail under real operational pressure. Mispriced schedules, unclear obligations, misaligned incentives, or incomplete tender evaluations can undermine performance long before the first truck moves. |
| TacminMadini brings decades of IPD, contracting, and commercial management experience to help owners verify whether their commercial foundations will withstand execution. We review agreements, tender outcomes, pricing logic, and commercial positions to identify gaps that could affect cost, risk, governance, or delivery outcomes. Whether operations are about to begin or are already underway, we help ensure the commercial framework is robust, defensible, and aligned with the realities of the project. |
A plan means nothing without delivery
You may have a plan — but can it actually be delivered under site conditions? |
| Schedules that don’t match mining realities, controls that don’t reflect true progress, and coordination structures that break under pressure all contribute to cost creep and schedule drift. Many owners discover this only once the project is already slipping. |
| With extensive experience in mining construction, large-scale project delivery, and distressed-project recovery, TacminMadini audits the strength of your execution systems. We examine planning discipline, progress tracking, field coordination, and delivery alignment to confirm whether your project can move from strategy to stable execution — or whether intervention is required. The outcome is a clear, honest picture of delivery capacity, before delays escalate into crisis. |
Where engineering intent meets operational truth
Are your technical decisions holding up in the field — or creating hidden performance losses? |
| Many projects struggle because designs, engineering assumptions, or operating parameters do not translate cleanly into real-world production. Mismatched haulage profiles, underestimated cycle times, inefficient plant settings, or impractical ramp schedules can quietly drain value. |
| TacminMadini reviews the full technical chain — from engineering intent to operational performance — identifying where misalignment is costing productivity, reliability, or compliance. Drawing on decades of mine engineering, operations, and benchmarking experience, we help owners confirm whether technical decisions are enabling performance or restricting it. This is where assumptions meet reality — and where corrections protect both output and investment. |
Capability first. Delivery second
Do you truly have the people, equipment, and site capability to deliver what the schedule demands? |
| Projects often stall not because of strategy or design, but because the resourcing model cannot support the planned workload. Insufficient equipment, under-qualified teams, incomplete site infrastructure, or misaligned contractor capacity can all restrict progress without obvious warning signs. |
TacminMadini assesses the strength, suitability, and readiness of resourcing across contractors, fleets, infrastructure, and support services — regardless of whether operations are about to start or already underway. With deep fleet, contractor, and infrastructure experience through BlauForge and TacminE, we identify whether your current capability can deliver the expected outcomes. This gives owners clarity before ramp-up, and early warning during execution when resourcing is falling behind project demand. |
