JAKARTA - PT Waskita Karya (Persero) Tbk (WSKT) has received a new contract in the form of the procurement of construction services for the construction of the Yogyakarta -Bawen Section 3 Toll Road, Magelang -Borobudur Junction. The value of the project reaches IDR 2.1 trillion.
WSKT through the PP-Waskita-WIKA Operation Cooperation (KSO) will work on a road along 8.1 kilometers located in Magelang Regency, Central Java. The scope of work includes the main route, the Magelang access route, the junction, the pedestrian overpass (JPO), the underground tunnel and the pile slab.
Director of Operations I Waskita Karya Ari Asmoko said that SS Magelang and SS Borobudur are strategic access points from the Yogyakarta -Bawen Toll Road. The SS serves as the main gateway to the Borobudur National Tourism Strategy Area (KSPN).
"This project is very important to accelerate mobility while encouraging the development of the tourism sector. With the Yogyakarta-Bawen Toll Section 3, people have direct access to the Super Priority Destination (DSP) Borobudur Temple without disturbing the sustainability of the cultural heritage site," said Ari in a written statement, Tuesday, June 23.
Ari added that the SS Magelang-Borobudur also aims to reduce congestion on major arterial roads. It is hoped that this step will facilitate the movement of logistics vehicles.
In the construction process, he said, Waskita Karya as a contractor will implement a number of innovations to make the work more efficient, both in terms of time and cost. Among them is the use of the Curing Automatic method, the benefits of which are to keep the concrete from losing water quickly during the seven-day maintenance period, so that no shrinkage cracks occur.
There is also a Deflection Warning System tool that monitors the reduction of formwork and shoring during casting.
Thus, supervisors or surveyors no longer perform manual checks.
One of the challenges in the project is that construction work is in an active traffic zone, so it has the potential to disrupt the smooth flow of vehicles and increase the risk of road user safety.
For this reason, the company will implement a traffic management plan (TMP) as well as providing detour routes and securing the work area in order to optimize traffic management and safety of the construction area.
In the construction of the Yogyakarta-Bawen Toll Road Section 3, the company plans to use roboflagman to automatically manage traffic.
The innovation aims to reduce the risk of accidents and can still regulate in all weather conditions.
To note, the Yogyakarta-Bawen Toll Road has a total length of 75.12 kilometers which connects the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY) with Semarang Regency, Central Java.
When the toll road is completed, road users will only travel for about an hour from Yogyakarta to Semarang.
