Front-end engineering design involves the practice, theory, science, technology and application of extracting minerals from a naturally occurring environment by means of open-pit mining methods.

Once designed, it will undergo total cost management, which is that area of engineering practice where engineering judgment and experience are used in the application of scientific principles and techniques to determine the value of implementation through sound cost engineering principles.

Turnkey contracts offer rapid turn-around since engineering design and implementation go hand-in-hand. Moreover, the customer deals with one contractor only, hence no disconnect during mine plan and design implementation.

Our mining partner offer the full EPCM service (Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management), have completed multi billion dollars’ worth of contracts and have assisted several mining companies with the successful execution of mining contracts over the past 20 years.

This includes project management, budgeting, planning, managing timelines, identifying, managing and mitigating risks, and dealing with health, safety and the environmental matters.

Particular emphasis is placed on quality assurance to ensure thorough and robust designs and the completeness of tender documentation.

The project manager should behave as if they are the Client, or part of the Client’s organisation, even if they are in fact an external Consultant.

The project manager should be adequately experienced to deal directly with contractors in all facets of mining construction and construction contract law.

The Client’s expectations of his project manager is to protect the business of the Client against cost overruns, resolve claims and disputes, conduct rate renegotiations, issuing of variation orders, contract administration, verify measurement and payment certificates and/or else as described and outlined in the agreement between the Parties.
