The Project

In the heart of Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, where bitter cold winters often challenge construction projects, MCS Property LLC took on an ambitious development: the International Center Project. Designed as a modern mixed-use space, the building combines retail, fitness, dining, and office space across 24 stories. Once completed, it will stand as a symbol of Mongolia’s growing urban sophistication. 

The project’s structure, a cast-in-place reinforced concrete frame with a unitized curtain wall system, was designed to handle Mongolia’s unique environmental pressures. With a total area of 34,186 m² and a tight construction footprint of 1,438 m², precision in scheduling and execution was critical, especially during concrete placement and curing. 

The Cold Climate Challenge 

For a project of this scale, timing is everything, especially when the city’s freezing temperatures can halt progress in an instant. MCS Property had long relied on thermocables to monitor concrete temperature, but the method came with frustrating limitations. The cables required constant human oversight, were prone to breakage, and would stop transmitting data without warning. Worse, they lacked the ability to generate reliable, integrated reports for decision-makers. 

The technical demands of the International Center compounded these challenges. Complex M&E systems, from fire suppression to HVAC, heating, and a high-speed internet backbone, all depended on achieving concrete strength targets on schedule. Any delay could result in costly overruns or structural risks due to improper curing in the cold. 

Discovering a Smarter Solution 

Seeking a better way to monitor concrete performance, MCS Property turned to Giatec’s SmartRock™ sensors, introduced by Namnan Industry LLC.

At first, the team was skeptical. Could wireless sensors truly perform in Mongolia’s frigid climate? But once deployed, their doubts vanished. The SmartRock sensors connected seamlessly via Bluetooth, offering real-time data on both concrete temperature and strength development without the hassle of manual checks or fragile wiring. 

Suddenly, the team could track the heat released during curing and even leverage Giatec’s AI assistant, ROXI, for insights on concrete performance, a first for Mongolia’s construction sector. 

Concrete Results and Lasting Impact 

The impact of SmartRock was immediate and undeniable. MCS Property was able to prevent freezing damage to their concrete structures by monitoring curing in real-time; a game-changer for winter construction in Mongolia. More impressively, the data revealed that their concrete reached target strength 2.5 days earlier than traditional lab-tested concrete cubes.

That time savings rippled through the project, helping them stay ahead of schedule. By the end, the team estimated 25 days of total time saved, allowing for smoother coordination of trades and mechanical systems. 

Beyond just time, the sensors provided confidence. Decisions were no longer guesses or based on outdated reports. Every choice from formwork removal to heating requirements was driven by solid, real-time data. 

A New Standard for Innovation in Mongolia 

Reflecting on the experience, MCS Property was clear: Giatec’s SmartRock sensors didn’t just solve a problem, they introduced a new way of building in Mongolia. With optimal curing, reduced risks, and AI-assisted insights, the International Center Project now stands as a benchmark for smart construction technology in the region.

“We loved it so much we couldn’t believe it at first,” said Munkhbaatar Sukhbaatar, Managing Director at Namnan Smart Solution LLC.

SmartRock gave us the data we needed to make rational decisions, save time, and prevent extra costs. It’s an incredible tool for Mongolia’s construction future.”
