Samsung C&T, the Roy Hill engineering and procurement contractor, delivered an ambitious construction schedule, highlighting commencement of major earthworks, and initial construction of the port and rail project to begin in October, 2013 with the first concrete to be poured by Christmas. The project includes a mine 115km north of Newman and a 344km railway to the coastal iron ore shipment hub of Port Hedland.
