It’s quite common for an organisation’s development story to be used as a model for other organisations. We met with such an organisation – Hasu Megawatt LLC. Founded in 2000, this engineering company started out in the renovation, modification, repair and installation of power plant boilers. Since then the company has gone from strength to strength and is now a reputable company in the engineering sector.
Thousands of Mongolian companies work as suppliers for the Oyu Tolgoi project, Hasu Megawatt LLC has been contracting to the project since 2006. Initially subcontracting through Redpath, their potential was soon realised, and within a year they started contracting directly with Oyu Tolgoi LLC. Since then Hasu Megawatt LLC has been involved in several major projects for Oyu Tolgoi LLC, including the operation of heating boilers and the heat supply system; construction of the underground pipelines; production of parts, pressure containers and heating boilers and warehouse facilities at the mine site. Their biggest project to date is the lateral development equipment that operates in the mine at a depth of 1,300 metres.
J.Tumen-Ayush, General Director of Hasu Megawatt LLC says “A company needs to prove its ability to its customers, and we have. It’s inspiring to work with Oyu Tolgoi LLC, they fulfill their contract and assess our performance well. We have a good, long term working relationship with them.” Since 2006, 120-130 employees of Hasu Megawatt LLC have been regularly employed to work on the Oyu Tolgoi project. This year 186 employees have been engaged in the operation with 300 people were working during the peak period. The company settles any social issues of the workers and constantly updates its salary policy. The company has provided new apartments to 32 employees this year and maintains a policy to provide apartments to 20-30 employees annually.
J.Tumen-Ayush noted that there are many things to learn as they participate in the development of a world class mine. They have learned much about occupational health and safety, which they effectively adhere to. This is proved by the procurement of uniforms and protective equipment that meet with the world standards of Germany. Hasu Megawatt LLC was selected by the Oyu Tolgoi project as the 'Supplier excellence award in commitment to health and safety ' in 2011.
