Roy Hill chooses Aconex software

Roy Hill Holdings has selected construction project management software firm Aconex to provide its services to the company’s iron ore mining project in the Pilbara.

Aconex provides software that allows project teams to manage and respond to contractual communications, share and update documents and drawings, and execute project-defined workflows for process control and document reviews and approvals.

Aconex general manager, Australia and New Zealand, Steven Brant said the mine was a complex project with a wide range of stakeholders and multiple assets to be built.

“The Aconex platform will enable the company to control business documentation for improved efficiency and accuracy while managing risk and regulatory compliance,” he said.

“We look forward to helping the entire project team follow best practices in collaborative information management so that the mine and its supporting operations start production on schedule.”

Roy Hill and the majority of its contractors are using software Aconex provided as a single source of project information management and collaboration.

The software will assist Roy Hill in both the construction and operation phases of the project.

The Aconex software is currently being used by 23 different organisations involved in the project, and this number is likely to grow as additional operational contracts are engaged.

The first shipment of iron ore is scheduled for export in 2015.
