Mining operations carry high risk. Successful, high value technical operations require the time and cost controls that CCi have offered for many years.
Sector Background
Whether surface or underground operations, the extraction of valuable minerals or other materials from the earth, often give rise to disputes. There are inherent ground risks and geohazards in the soils that are mined for their mineral deposits. Given the expensive plant and labour-intensive operations that often take place in remote locations, with challenging working conditions, various issues can present delays and disruptions that result in loss and expense.
How CCi Can Help
Our experienced technical experts identify the causes of incidents and damages, and our experts will analyse the impact of any delays or changes for the project. All lost time, accompanying costs, disruption and prolongations will be identified, evidenced, and valued. Our quantum and delay teams assess the commercial risk of our clients, and assist in the setting up of correct project controls from within the project team.
