In today’s market, the availability of experienced Project Managers and skilled mining professionals continues to decline. As more senior personnel retire and fewer new professionals enter the field, both aggregate producers and mining companies are encountering increasing difficulty in finding internal resources with the right qualifications to lead and execute large-scale capital projects. This workforce shortage has prompted many organizations to seek outside support from proven partners with the experience, knowledge, and technical ability to manage critical projects from start to finish.
APACHE Iron Works offers experienced Project Managers who are equipped to oversee complex development projects in mining, aggregates, and material processing. Our leadership team brings decades of hands-on experience in planning, executing, and delivering results across a wide range of operational environments. We do not simply assign generalists to manage your build; we assign dedicated professionals with a deep understanding of the equipment, systems, and sequencing required to build and commission a successful plant or process system.
The principals at APACHE have successfully completed a wide array of capital equipment and infrastructure projects in countries including:
Canada
Mexico
The United States
Central America
South America
The Caribbean
This regional diversity means our team understands the regulatory, logistical, and operational challenges that vary from country to country. Whether working in the mountainous terrain of Latin America or a remote area of the Midwest U.S., APACHE professionals are prepared to address the specific site requirements, local labor considerations, transportation needs, and commissioning timelines unique to each location.
Our history of international project execution ensures that the same level of planning rigor and risk management is applied regardless of geography. We are familiar with navigating customs procedures, international shipping requirements, and the coordination needed between suppliers, civil contractors, and local stakeholders in foreign jurisdictions.
If you’re preparing to develop a Greenfield site, a project on undeveloped land that requires start-to-finish execution, APACHE can assist at every step. From concept development to final commissioning, our project personnel collaborate with your internal stakeholders to ensure a methodical, timeline-driven approach.
This process typically includes:
Feasibility and conceptual design reviews
Preliminary layout and equipment planning
Procurement strategy and vendor coordination
Construction staging and contractor management
Safety and compliance planning
Final testing and start-up supervision
We also support Brownfield upgrades and equipment expansions, particularly where existing plants are being modernized with new crushing or screening lines, conveyors, or mobile equipment.
At APACHE, our approach is rooted in logic, structure, and clear communication. Every project begins with the definition of project scope and deliverables, followed by a detailed execution plan. We ensure all stakeholders, owners, operators, engineers, and third-party contractors understand the project phases and timelines before work begins.
Our team documents the entire process, from conceptual layouts and permit packages through to construction drawings and final as-built records. Throughout execution, we maintain transparency through regular progress meetings, safety reports, and performance updates. We also track key performance indicators (KPIs) to assess schedule, budget, and risk management outcomes in real time.
If you have a Greenfield project ready to initiate, or are preparing to upgrade an existing operation, contact APACHE to learn how our Project Management services can streamline your success. Our team is ready to collaborate with you, leveraging proven systems, industry knowledge, and years of international experience to bring your project from Concept to Approved for Construction.
