Exploration

From conventional to future-ready strategies

Since 1996, Tacmin Construction has been dedicated to transforming open-pit mining operations. Our methodology, grounded in proven practices, consistently meets desired objectives by enhancing operational efficiency, sustainability, safety, and resource management for both owner and contractor mining. By working closely with the owner's team, we focus on continuous improvement from the outset, without the need for capital expenditure. When capital investments are required for technological enhancements, operations have already been significantly optimized, ensuring that these investments are justified and effective. This approach has established a solid foundation and a proven track record of success. As we continue to pursue excellence, Tacmin Construction remains committed to integrating advanced technologies and further optimizing processes for more efficient and sustainable mining practices.

  •  MileSTONE:  Engineering the future of operations

The first stage, MileSTONE, is crucial for laying a strong foundation. Decades of applying our methodology across numerous open-pit mines have provided us with deep insights into the operational challenges that mines commonly face. These insights have been carefully integrated into the MileSTONE approach, ensuring that potential risks and challenges are mitigated from the outset. By aligning your mine planning and scheduling with PMBOK (Project Management Body of Knowledge) principles, MileSTONE ensures that your projects are executed with precision and efficiency. This stage emphasizes strict adherence to mine plans and schedules, ensuring that projects are delivered on time and within budget—a process validated by our extensive experience. Among other things, MileSTONE collaborates closely with the owner's team to design operations for optimal equipment performance, setting the stage for the next phase. 

While MileSTONE focuses on operations, BenchmarkPro is dedicated to optimizing mining resources, particularly equipment performance. Building on the strong foundation laid by MileSTONE and drawing from years of benchmarking experience, BenchmarkPro emphasizes equipment assessment from a selection, production and Life Cycle Cost perspective, providing not only a comprehensive breakdown of operating costs but also the total cost of mining over a given period. This stage may lead to deeper mechanical maintenance evaluations and targeted recommendations for improvement. By leveraging advanced simulation techniques and proven benchmarking methodologies, BenchmarkPro identifies critical areas for enhancement, driving continuous improvement and ensuring operations are optimized for current demands. The insights gained are crucial for preparing your mining activities and equipment for future technological transformations, ensuring a smooth and efficient transition to the next stage.

The Transformation Readiness Assessment and Implementation Planning process offers a comprehensive analysis of your operations, pinpointing where modern approaches and advanced technologies can enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and improve sustainability. Through simulation and sensitivity analysis during a trade-off between conventional and future-ready operations, we establish multiple scenarios for deeper assessment. We work closely with OEMs and Industry 4.0 partners to analyze and capture technology costs, enhancements, and methodologies, simulating real-world scenarios during the trade-off. The assessment identifies high-return opportunities for new technologies and methodologies, prioritizing those with the most significant impact. The result is an actionable report that encapsulates all findings, including but not limited to a structured roadmap, costs, impacts on operations, as well as CAPEX and OPEX for your transition to future-ready operations.

 Future-ready project management

Upon approval of the selected transformation option, our EPC partner's Advanced Project Management service ensures a streamlined approach to future-ready operations. We start with detailed engineering and implementation planning, collaborating with your team to align technical aspects with strategic goals. Procurement management follows, meticulously overseeing the sourcing of digital systems, advanced equipment, and technologies, ensuring transparency and securing the best solutions that meet project requirements and sustainability standards. During construction management, we coordinate all activities, using advanced methodologies to supervise contractors and uphold quality and safety standards. This integrated approach equips your operations with the tools and processes needed for sustainable, long-term success, setting the stage for optimized, future-ready mining operations.
