Mutiara Beach Embankment Rembes, Rano Karno: The Solution Is Not Just Tempel Cement

Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta Rano Karno emphasized that the DKI Provincial Government is preparing to repair the safety embankment at Mutiara Beach, Penjaringan, North Jakarta, which took place some time ago with a solid construction.

Rano emphasized that repairs were not limited to mixing with a layer of cement on the cracked and leaking embankment.

"There will definitely be action. The solution is not just a stick, if you just drink it, it's easy. This means that we really want to build a embankment," Rano told reporters, Friday, November 28.

Therefore, the DKI Provincial Government will repair the embankment with a stronger structure, after its field review. So that the leak no longer occurs in the future.

"The mayor has gone there. We will definitely do the solution. Otherwise, it will be dangerous," said Rano.

Previously reported, the DKI Jakarta Water Resources Service (SDA) followed up on the findings of residents regarding the seepage of the safety embankment in the Mutiara Beach area, Pluit, Penjaringan, North Jakarta, after a video of the condition of the embankment was widely circulated on social media.

In a video circulating on Instagram social media, the sea level is still within normal limits. However, behind the wall that is directly opposite the housing, there are small cracks that cause sea water to overflow, causing puddles.

"Responding to information on social media about the embedding embankment at Mutiara Beach, the DKI Jakarta SDA Office has now carried out a field survey," said Head of the Planning Subgroup for Rob Control and Coastal Development of the DKI Jakarta Natural Resources Service, Alfan Widyastanto to reporters, Monday, November 24.

Alfan said that mapping was also carried out on a number of coastal embankments which were considered to have the potential to experience seepage or leakage.

Currently, the SDA Office is currently preparing the planning stage for the elevation of the embankment at Mutiara Beach. This step was formulated to adjust the existing conditions which were deemed necessary for strengthening.

"For the embankment at Mutiara Beach, the DKI Jakarta SDA Office is currently carrying out the planning stage with the elevation of the embankment which will be higher than the current condition of the embankment," said Alfan.

Alfan added that the repair work is targeted to start as soon as the planning process is complete. "The target for the implementation of the work is expected to be realized as quickly as possible and in accordance with existing procedures," he said.
