Inteloc was founded in 2017 and is involved with multiple mineral processing studies and projects.

Inteloc works closely in partnership with the specialist companies to execute small brownfield to midsize greenfield EPC/M projects. 

These flexible and long-term partnerships have allowed Inteloc to provide fit for purpose consulting services, whilst retaining knowledge over mining slowdown periods.

Inteloc has experience with the following commodities:

Gold

Platinum

Chrome

Diamonds

Lithium

Nickel

Copper

Silver

Lead

Zinc

Coal

Inteloc also has extensive experience in mining projects infrastructure.

The Inteloc team strength lies in experience from a complete start to finish design process followed by a complete start to finish execution and commissioning of mineral process projects.

This leads to progressive improvements and successful design, construction and operational hand over.

Inteloc’s key to success is to ensure the following aspects of any study or project are well defined:

  • Scope of works

    Lack of scope definition is one of the major causes of mining projects cost overruns. Capturing scope is essential to develop realistic costs and timelines. This must be developed by the TEAM especially for brown field projects where operations are live.

  • Cost Estimate

    Another major cause of mining project overruns is that cost control for execution projects are poorly set up at the beginning of a project. It is essential that the project CAPEX is measured against the baseline estimate to identify problems early on so that corrections can be made.

  • Schedule

    If scope is well defined it is easier to plan and resource the project correctly.

  • Contracting Strategy

    It is critical that the contracting strategy is set up early in the project. This will impact cost and schedule if not well planned. Contracting strategy will depend on few things, namely; country, province, available contractors, project director, contract forms etc. Inteloc focus on reducing project interfaces from engineering to construction to improve project timelines and quality.
