Jakpro: Realization Of Jakarta International Stadium Reaches 87.8 Percent, All Roofs Have Been Closed

JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Regional-Owned Enterprises (BUMD), PT Jakarta Propertindo (Perseroda) or Jakpro stated that the Jakarta International Stadium (JIS) has completed the installation of all metal sheet roofs until they are closed and the construction realization has reached 87.85 percent.

JIS Project Manager Arry Wibowo said the realization of the physical construction of the international standard stadium located in North Jakarta reached 87.85 percent in the 118th week.

"Thank God, all the metal sheet roofs of JIS have been covered in the 118th week. Thus, the work on the JIS project has reached 87.85 percent," said Arry, quoted by Antara, Wednesday, December 8.

According to Arry, the installation of all JIS metal sheet roofs will be completed according to the planned time or before December 11, 2021, so that the JIS project operational cooperation (KSO) continues to accelerate the construction of the stadium optimally.

"Obviously, covering the entire JIS roof will accelerate other work, because it will be safer," said Arry.

In addition, Arry revealed that the entire roof that has been covered can add to the aesthetic value of JIS, especially if the picture is taken from above. This is because the JIS steel roof has a contrasting color when it is documented using a camera.

“If you take a good photo, the metal sheet has a contrasting color so that it becomes bright or looks white. Even though the original color is light gray," said Arry.

JIS development has entered its final stage. So that a lot of interior work was carried out, such as installing audience seats, working on the remains of the audience stands precast, installing lights, to installing an audio system.

“Seats, especially tier three, will be safer from rain and heat, so work will be faster. Before the whole thing was closed, the sound system was still covered with plastic to prevent it from being exposed to rain," he said.

Considering that JIS is one of the largest and high-tech stadiums in Indonesia, which is currently entering the construction stage.

In fact, based on the British media report Daily Mail on February 20, 2021, JIS is included in the 10 grandest stadiums in the world.

JIS is also in the 10th list after Miami Freedom Park, Lusail Iconic, Bramley-Moore Dock, Camp Nou, Santiago Bernabeu, New Feyenoord, Della Roma, New San Siro, and Grand Stade de Casablanca.

Not only that, JIS is the only stadium building that has obtained a platinum level green building certificate in the Design Recognition aspect.

Therefore, Arry does not want it to be just a building concept, but JIS is also expected to change the mindset and behavior patterns of the surrounding community.

Thus, the presence of the first environmentally friendly stadium in Indonesia that has a retractable roof will become a symbol of sustainable development in Indonesia, as well as a catalyst for urban regeneration, in line with the vision of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government which is focusing on making a city that is comfortable to live in. (livable city).
