Mining
We embed controls and scheduling capability across metals, minerals and processing projects - from baseline setup through to recovery planning when delivery starts to drift.

What we bring
Capital projects under operating-mine constraints
Mining capital projects deliver inside operating environments - shutdowns, tie-ins, road access, weather, labour. We keep the schedule honest against those constraints and the records position defensible if delivery is contested.
Operating-mine aware
Schedules built around live production - shutdowns, tie-ins and access windows treated as constraints, not as a wish list.
Honest progress, early
Earned schedule, physical % complete and forecast cost-to-complete reported on a cadence that shows drift before it becomes recovery.
Recovery planning that holds
When slippage is real, structured recovery options - resequencing, acceleration, scope deferral - with the time and cost trade-offs spelled out.
How we engage
Embedded - and ready to recover when it counts
Mining projects often need help once drift is already real. We mobilise quickly into a live programme, stabilise it, and stay through the cycle.
Listen & assess
We sit with the schedule, the records and the project leadership to understand where the plan has drifted and where it has gone quiet.
Stabilise the position
Whether it is a re-baseline, a stabilised live schedule or a structured recovery plan, we get the project into a state it can run on.
Run the weekly cycle
Status, lookahead, EVM, risk and reporting - owned alongside the project team, on a cadence operations and the board can both use.
Hand back stronger
Templates, documentation and a trained successor in place so the in-house team can sustain the discipline after we exit.
Where this bites
The moments mining schedules tend to break
Drift in mining projects is rarely random. It clusters around three predictable failure modes - and that is where we get called.
Shutdown overruns
A tie-in or shutdown extends past the planned window. Operations exposure and contractor cost climb the moment the unit stays offline.
Sustaining capital drift
Multiple small jobs each slip a few weeks. The annual plan misses, the next cycle gets squeezed, and the board sees the same number for two years.
Recovery under pressure
The project is already late. Leadership needs a recovery plan that names the trade-offs - not a wishful re-baseline that slips again.
What good looks like
Outcomes leadership can act on
- A baseline aligned to operations and shutdown calendars
- Drift surfaced early - not at the next board cycle
- Recovery options on the table while there is still time to act
- Records that hold up if entitlement gets contested
