JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the DKI Jakarta Provincial DPRD, Muhammad Taufik, claims that the construction project for the Jakarta International E-Prix Circuit (JIEC) in the Ancol area has so far not encountered any significant obstacles.

This is considered a positive note, considering that in the early stages of development, many parties had doubts that this project could proceed as planned.

"So far, contractors have not had any technical problems with road construction. So they are optimistic that this (project) can be completed on time. For me, the most important thing is that it must be completed on time, because for quality matters, they have supervision, even from the Formula One organization. E itself," said Taufik, while reviewing project implementation, as reported by Antara, Sunday, March 6.

With the projection that the construction process will run on time, Taufik did not hesitate to express his praise. The reason is from the results of his monitoring, Taufik claims that the process of implementing the construction of the Ancol JIEC Circuit has now reached 52 percent.

With only 48 percent remaining in the development process, Taufik said he was confident that the entire project would be fully completed in April 2022. "God willing, April will be finished," said Taufik.

Taufik explained, road construction for Formula E racing does have its own standards that it is impossible to compare with ordinary road construction. There are special conditions that must have been taken into account by the contractor, so it can be ascertained that the results of the work will be in accordance with the requirements of the Formula E organizers themselves.

"They (contractors) must have taken into account the strength of this road, so it really complies with the provisions of the Formula E itself," said Taufik.

During his visit this time, Taufik was accompanied by President Director of PT Jakarta Propertindo (Jakpro) Widi Amanasto, Jakarta Formula E Circuit Designer Irawan Sucahyono and Person in Charge of Formula E Circuit Development from PT Jaya Konstruksi Manggala Pratama, Ari Wibowo.
