Guarantee The Quality And Resilience Of Construction, GIS Supply Of Building Materials For Madukoro Flyovers

JAKARTA - The existence of supporting infrastructure to unravel congestion in urban areas is the government's concern and focus on development agendas. PT Semen Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (SIG) supplies building materials for the Madukoro Flyover which stretches 1.2 kilometers to reduce the traffic load in one of the busiest areas in Semarang, Central Java.

Inaugurated by President Prabowo Subianto at the end of 2024, the Madukoro Flyover is expected to help improve economic accessibility and activity in the port area and Ahmad Yani Airport, Semarang.

SIG's Corporate Secretary, Vita Mahreyni said that the experience of GIS building a number of masterpieces in Indonesia is proof of the resilience of construction products supported by quality building materials.

"SIG has been building the country since 1910. Several proud landmarks such as the National Monument, MPR and DPR buildings, Bali Mandara Toll Road and Suramadu Bridge are evidence of the quality of GIS products to support building construction and infrastructure that is resilient in the long term," explained Vita Mahreyni, in a written statement, Tuesday, February 4.

Not only infrastructure, Hashim Djojohadikusumo who is also the Chair of the Housing Task Force of the Republic of Indonesia emphasized the government's commitment to realize the fulfillment of public housing needs through a program of 3 million houses.

"This is an opportunity for GIS. The government continues to make various efforts including securing foreign investment commitments such as Qatar, for the construction of 4-6 million houses," said Hashim in the keynote speech ESG Forum which was also attended by the Director of GIS, Donny Arsal.

Supporting the 3 million home program, GIS encourages the use of precision interlocked bricks, GIS green cement derivative products that use the system lock each other like a lego, to build houses faster in just 15-21 days.

"To support the Government in meeting the target of building 3 million houses per year, collaboration of all parties is needed and of course technological innovation. Precision interlocks are technology that changes the housing development method to be easier, faster and more efficient, with strong construction quality and a modern appearance, thus providing added value for developers and homeowners," said Donny Arsal.
