Chile is building for a future defined by connectivity, clean energy leadership, and regional opportunity. Backed by more than USD $18 billion in active development, these transformative public and private projects are reshaping the country’s economic landscape under the National Public Infrastructure Plan 2025–2055.


In the race to unlock the deeper ore bodies powering the world’s energy transition, Australia’s underground mines are pushing further beneath the surface than ever before. Achieving this safely, efficiently, and with technical certainty requires a contractor with the skills and systems to meet geology on its own terms. Redpath Australia has steadily positioned itself as one of the country’s most capable underground mining partners, delivering sophisticated vertical and lateral infrastructure in some of the most demanding conditions.
 


Four Chimneys, One Ambition

For decades, Battersea Power Station stood silent—its four white chimneys rising above the Thames like sentinels of a lost industrial age. Decommissioned in 1983, the structure decayed behind locked gates while London changed around it.
Today, the chimneys smoke again—only this time, with steam from cafés, cinemas, and the heat of human energy.


A Lens Made of Steel, Stone, and Light

On Los Angeles’s Miracle Mile, the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures gleams like a camera turned inside out.
One side preserves history: the restored 1939 May Company Building, reborn as the Saban Building.
The other side projects the future: a spherical, glass-domed theater that seems to float above the city.


What High Prices Actually Reveal About Your Organization

Gold at $2,800. Your AISC at $1,100. Margins that would make a tech CEO jealous. Your board wants dividends. Your shareholders want buybacks. Your government wants windfall taxes. And somewhere in this noise, you're supposed to be building a company that matters in 2040.


The Stakes of Reinvention

When the excavators first tore into the familiar contours of Leidsenhage Shopping Center, few could have imagined the scale of the metamorphosis about to unfold. Beneath the cranes and scaffolding in Leidschendam-Voorburg, on the western edge of the Randstad, a €570 million experiment in urban reinvention was taking shape.


When Business Excellence last profiled Mota-Engil in 2021 under the banner “Hand in Hand with Africa in a Shared Future,” the emphasis was clear: this was a company deeply rooted in Africa, working side by side with communities and governments to deliver transformative infrastructure. Then-CEO Manuel Mota described Mota-Engil as “an African company as much as a Portuguese one,” pointing to its 75-year history on the continent, from the 4th of April Bridge to Luanda Bay.


 

When Orica Mongolia LLC opened its doors in 2004, Mongolia’s mining industry was entering a new era. The Oyu Tolgoi copper-gold project was gathering momentum, coal exports were climbing, and global demand was pulling the country’s mineral wealth onto the world stage. For Orica, a subsidiary of the Australia-based Orica Group—one of the world’s leading blasting and mining technology companies—the move was natural.


At 15 years old, Transwest Mongolia LLC stands as more than just a distributor: it has become a lodestar in Mongolia’s mining and construction infrastructure. With exclusive Komatsu dealership rights, localized refurbishment and remanufacturing, and a robust training institute, Transwest is helping shape not just machinery supply chains but human capital and environmental responsibility across the country.
