The brief
Open Pit Mine Control Center Office
Engineering, Procurement, Fabrication, and Construction of a New Open-Pit Mine Control Center Office Building:
02
The system
Built as modules.
Delivered as one.
Core and shell, utilities and interior finishes were coordinated as one prefabricated system before installation at the operating mine site.
Square metres
Total project footprint.
Modules
Fabricated at the Khanbogd workshop.
Months
From delivery programme to commissioning and handover.
-
01
Permanent operational footprint
Two Blocks with a 1,566 m² Total Footprint, Permanent Facility Designed for Uninterrupted Control and Dispatch Operations.
-
02
Turn-key EPC scope
Turn-Key EPC Scope (including State commissioning)
-
03
Compressed delivery programme
Starting from a concept design sketch in October 2025, our project team collaborated closely with the client’s team to compress the project delivery schedule.
-
04
Concurrent EPC coordination
The requirement to complete these facilities in a short timeframe challenged the team to manage the following EPC aspects concurrently:
-
05
Integrated modular design
Designed all aspects of the building including main envelope (core & shell), utilities, and interior finishes using modular prefabricated building technology.
-
06
Fast-track procurement
Procurement of all building materials fast-tracked alongside detailed design phases.
-
07
Fabrication close to site
Fabrication of all 87 building modules at our Khanbogd Workshop closely located to the mine site, including the subsequent delivery and erection of all modules at the OT site. Fabricating the building modules near the project site contributed toward overall cost efficiency of the building as well as shorter lead time for overall project delivery.
-
08
Winter construction
Construction: Most of the onsite construction activities took place during winter months in extremely cold weather - demonstrated the advantage of utilizing the prefabricated modular building technology.
04
Project value
Prefabrication moved quality, schedule and weather risk into a controlled environment.
Programme certainty
Parallel design, procurement and fabrication compressed delivery without separating responsibility across the EPC scope.
Winter resilience
Off-site module production reduced exposure to extreme winter construction conditions at the mine site.
Local value
Fabrication in Khanbogd and collaboration with local suppliers kept capability and project value in Umnugovi.
