The State Committee of the Mongolian government approved the Mongolian National Standard (MNS) for Gateway Development Mongolia's (GDM) ThermoBlock wall assembly. The ThermoBlock construction material meets all codes for fire, health and safety, and environmental requirements for both public and private sector construction.

“This is a milestone achievement that puts ThermoBlock, the only polyurethane insulated concrete form manufactured in Mongolia, at the forefront of the modernization of Mongolia's construction industry,” said Chief Executive Officer Adam P. Saffer.

GDM, through its international partner Gateway Development International (GDI), has formed a strategic partnership with a U.S.-based environmental technology company to bring breakthrough wastewater, sewage treatment, and water purification technologies to Mongolia. The firm claims its technologies can process the most polluted water in purified drinking water, and turn wastewater and sewage into reusable potable water and a hybrid organic fertilizer.

Features include a small size to meet a variety of needs, an expense 10 to 30 times less than comparable treatment systems, no necessity for expensive filters or membranes, and an odorless and fast process.
