The Simandou mine development project stands as one of the most ambitious iron ore exploration ventures in the Republic of Guinea. Nestled in the Simandou mountain range, about 550 kilometers east-southeast of Conakry, this project aims to tap into one of the world's richest iron ore deposits. Spearheaded by Rio Tinto and its local partner Simfer, the project focuses on the northern Ouéléba deposit, with a production goal of 50 to 60 million tonnes of iron ore annually.

As part of this transformative venture, the project requires the development of a robust engineering design for its haul roads and bulk earthworks. These designs will facilitate efficient mining operations and contribute to the seamless transportation of extracted materials. Additionally, the scope includes designing drainage infrastructure, structures, early works construction roads, laydown areas, and conducting a concept study for the upgrade of Beyla airport, all essential to the success of this mega project.
