JAKARTA - PT Semen Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (SIG) offers porous concrete technology, ThruCrete, as a high absorption-powered solution to overcome water runoff on the surface (surface run-off) and optimize water absorption into the ground in Green Open Space (RTH).
"The Green Open Space (RTH) plays an important role in preserving the environment, especially as an infiltration area for the conservation of water resources," said SIG Corporate Secretary Vita Mahreyni as reported by ANTARA, Wednesday, June 11.
He said good water management is a feature of a sustainable city, which is demonstrated by its ability to absorb and store rainwater.
That way, the availability of water sources is maintained and environmental potential risks such as floods can be minimized.
The porous concrete is an innovative building material solution that is environmentally friendly to support sustainable development in Indonesia," he said.
According to him, the latest technology from GIS is able to move rainwater from the surface of roads, sidewalks, parking lots, and park areas into the ground with an absorption rate of more than 250 L/m2/minutes, thus supporting the green area coefficient program (KDH) of 30 percent zero runs-off to improve the quality of life of the community.
The innovative concrete solution from GIS has been applied in a number of strategic areas in Jakarta in the pedestrian line revitalization project in several areas including Gelora Bung Karno, Kebayoran Baru (Blok M, Barito, and Melawai), and the Istiqal Mosque.
In addition, several green open space locations in Jakarta include Lebak Bulus, Bambu Apus, Panglima Polim, Lubang Buaya, Pasar Minggu, Pondok Labu and Kramat Jati.
Apart from Jakarta, ThruCrete is also applied to Tegalega's RTH, Bandung & Square, Depok City, West Java. In East Java, ThruCrete is applied to taxiway shoulder Juanda Airport in Sidoarjo, to help overcome runoffs that have caused flooding.
Vita Mahreyni added that the application of innovative concrete solutions not only had a positive impact on environmental conservation, but also encouraged the creation of a safe and comfortable public space for the community.
Moreover, the innovative concrete solution is also more environmentally friendly because it is produced with GIS green cement which is lower in carbon emissions by up to 38 percent compared to conventional cement.
