Proudfoot Recovers $7B Potash Mine Project: Overcoming Obstacles for Success

A ~$7B potash mine. Already over budget. Already behind schedule. And winter closing in.

The Wet Processing Plant had to be enclosed before conditions made construction impossible. Work packages were shipping with just 60% of required materials. Productivity sat at 0.70 against a 0.95 target.

Proudfoot deployed a recovery team focused on materials management and site-wide coordination. Daily meetings installed. 500 piping spools released by resolving a single QC paperwork issue.

Craft productivity improved 32%. The Wet Mill was wrapped 15 days ahead of schedule.

The biggest gains don't always come from adding more resources. They come from removing the obstacles in front of the ones you have.
