Steve Rusk speaks with International Mining about how EPCM firms are coping with the varied and extreme pressures they face from mining clients

A half decade ago, the talk was still focused on offsetting execution risk and generally trying to improve on the performance of the most recent commodity boom and initial bust—a period that witnessed project overruns and capital cost blowouts.
