How long would it take to build the plant and quarries?
The process would probably take three to four years from initial planning to commissioning the plant. Prior to the construction phase commencing up to a year would be needed for detailed planning to be completed. It would take around two years to build the cement plant, about 18 months for the Weston quarries, and approximately nine months for the pits at Windsor and Ngapara, which would happen concurrently with construction of the plant. A further 6 – 12 months would be required for testing and commissioning of the plant.
