Understanding Mining Projects
C3 Projects has an intimate understanding of the Mining Sector and
have gained experience gained on open pit, underground and dredge
mining in all of the different technical disciplines, including mining,
bulk earthworks, civil works, building works, structural steelwork,
platework and vessels, process and utilities piping, mechanical
equipment, electrical & instrumentation and commissioning.
We understand that each project is unique and a project-
specific solution is required to reflect local conditions,
individual client requirements and the geographic and
environmental constraints.
We have extensive knowledge of the global supply chain
both in terms of equipmement and design, procurement,
construction and maintenance.
Our team understands the need to intergrate into multi-
discipline teams and focussing on the projects cost and time
elements.
The rapidly changing market needs professionals who respond
quickly, are flexible, utilise modern technology and processes, pro-
active and work collaboratively in multifaceted project delivery teams.
Approach to Mining ProjectsOur toolbox
Project Management Process – Flow chart
C3 Projects has developed a ‘gateway’ Project Management
Process Flowchart which provides a structured methodology to
delivering projects and implementing ‘gateway hold points’. The
process steps and hold points provide projects controls and
defined decision points to ensure the scope, budget and
programme requirements are achieved.
.
:
Unique Project Management Tool Box
Our approach is to implement fully integrated or stand- alone
cost and programme management processes and
procedures on Mining and Engineering projects. Our success
is underpinned by approaching each project as a one-off. We
initiate the process by developing and implementing a best
practice project life- cycle gateway management procedure.
This process provides strategic hold points and the
foundation for robust project controls to ensure the delivery of
the project within the agreed project-specific objectives and
critical success factors.
The core of our service delivery is our unique approach to
embedding risk management and value management into the
project delivery process. We have developed a ‘best of
breed’ web-based risk management software package to
provide an accessible hub for the whole project team to
collaborate in the continuous management of the project risk.
Our risk-based approach to developing project budgets and
programmes with clearly defined and transparent
contingencies ensures our projects are delivered within time
and on budget on a continuous basis.

Client: Vedanta – Lisheen Mine
Services: Project management, risk and cost management services and sale of assets.
Location: Lisheen Mines, Tipperary, Republic of Ireland
The Lisheen mine has been in operation since 1999 with a planned closure date of 2015. As part of the Environmental Protection License (IPCL) a comprehensive mine closure plan has been put in place and a detailedclosure estimate of costs was developed to support the value of performance bonds. A tailings dam extension was also constructed for the deposition of tailings which gave an additional 2 years life to the mine ensuring the mine fully exhausted the mineral resource.
Richards Bay MineralsClient: Hatch
Services: Cost management services on the pre and post contract stages of the project
Location: Richards Bay, Kwazulu, South Africa
Richards Bay Minerals carries out mining operations from floating mining plants, constructed in-situ in the sands dunes, in an environmentally sensitive area. The ponds are excavated and pontoons built to support the storage and concentrator vessels. The mining plants included the pontoon construction, structures, platework, piping and electrical and instrumentation works.
Navoi Gold MineClient: Navoi Gold Mine
Services: Cost management - contract negotiation
Location: Navoi Mine, Uzbekistan
Navoi Gold Mine was developing a new in pit crushing plant and conveyor system to extract the ore from the pit to the treatment plant. A detailed cost estimate was developed to support the contract negotiations with a major international design, build and finance contractor. Following extensive negotiations the contract was signed significantly below the original offer value.
Alusaf Smelter PlantClient: Murray and Roberts
Services: Preparation of detailed bills of quantities for the civil works contractors
Location: Richards Bay – Alusaf Smelter Plant
The Alusaf aluminum plant civil works tenders were issued to the tendering civil works contractors as lump sum tender documents without bills of quantities. The contractors made a joint appointment for the preparation of detailed BOQ’s to minimize the cost of tendering for each of the companies on this major civil engineering project. The cost of preparation of the documents was borne by the successful contractor.
