With a surge in demand for mineral output, today, the mining and mineral industry calls for the assistance of a professional EPC consultancy firm to deliver a comprehensive service covering engineering, procurement, construction and overall Project management. Usually, Industry has a preference to go for a complete Turnkey supplier who covers all these services along with their equipment. According to Vivek Ranganathan MD, Tanka Engineers, "This has more shortcomings with elevated costs. Firstly, the Turnkey supplier will push all equipment in their supply range; some of it may carry outdated technology and it becomes a compromise. Second, there are not too many options available with a lot of mergers between competitors in the recent past thereby forcing clients to pay more than its worth and go by their terms. Most importantly, there is no validation of the complete system right at the start to ensure things are right in the first place”.
Explaining how Tanka Engineers addresses the challenge, Vivek mentions, “We have positioned ourself to fill this gap by giving the single source option in a different scheme by partnering with client and managing the whole requirement of the project to ensure best of options is procured and integrated into a single package with effective cost control and better timelines”.
Incorporated in 2017, Tanka Engineers is a professional Consultancy Company delivering one stop solutions, covering high quality engineering, procurement and construction services to the mining sector especially in commodities like Gold, Iron Ore, Copper, Graphite, Lithium, Cobalt and many more. Additionally, the firm has made itself synonymous for offering competitive pricing along with providing technology-enabled equipment and systems.
Capability to extend support
The key expertise of the firm remains in its capability to extend support on the business side of things as well along with technical services. “Our competitors give support on the technical side of things and the client looks out for separate business advisory who then works on technical data. We have seen this fail in cases due to lack of technical knowledge with business advisory firms and limitation of business side of things with technical firms. However, we at Tanka Engineers strive to stand out in the way to understand the business side of things and work out the technical part to support the business model,” adds Vivek.
