One of the biggest and challenging transportation projects in Indonesia now is the MRT Jakarta construction financed by the Japan Bank for International Cooperation in 2006. The first phase project started to kickoff since 2008 starting from design phase, procurement till construction. The construction progress has now reached 90% completion and expected to commission and operate in 2019. This first phase project is being constructed for approximately 16 kilometers from Lebak Bulus station down to Bundaran Hotel Indonesia which consists of  13 stations with  1 Depot.

Hasanuddin University Alumnus organized the proposal to visit the construction site and approved by the Management of PT MRT Jakarta. The event was conducted on Wednesday morning, 28th of September 2017 attended by 20 alumnus from Hasanuddin University. The event was firstly opened by Ir. William Syahbandar, President Director of PT MRT Jakarta and continued with his presentation on the company overview, vision and mission and its current and future projects. In his speech he expected MRT Jakarta will be the benchmark for other big cities in Indonesia to start developing their transportation system as the first thing to do couple years back by the company was also to benchmark the big cities in the world which were already implementing this MRT system. “We are developing this project based on the latest MRT technology” as Mr. Willy said.

This technical visit led and guided directly by Mr. William Syahbandar and his team. Prior to enter project site the participants were wearing the personnel protective equipment (PPE) consist of safety boots, hard hat dan safety vest. The HSE team of MRT Jakarta briefed the safety induction to all participants for 15 minutes. As the construction progress is already 90 percent completion, the main structure such as diaphragm wall, columns, and beams are already completed. The railway and sleepers are also nearly complete and the remaining works are more on the construction of the architectural buildings inside the station such as office, shops, escalators, and others. Lobby, information desk, automatic ticket dispensing machines, one-way fare-gates and so on will be provided soon as part of the main facilities inside the station.


Questions and answers between participants and MRT Jakarta team were very interactive during the visit and during nearly 2 hours visit the participants should have gained more information on the technical and commercial aspects of this particular project. This visit was dismissed and continued with lunch time session at Plaza Indonesia.

Fakultas Teknologi Industri Universitas Muslim Indonesia (FTI UMI) kembali memfasilitasi kuliah umum bertemakan Infrastruktur Energi, Peluang dan Tantangan dihadiri oleh Mahasiswa(i) Jurusan Teknik Sipil dan Teknik Kimia di Auditorium KH Muhammad Ramly FTI UMI bertepatan Hari Sabtu, 16 September 2017. Sesi Kuliah Umum ini dibuka langsung Dekan FTI UMI, Ir. H. Zakir Sabara HW., IPM., MT., ASEAN Engineer.

Dalam sambutannya, Beliau menyampaikan bahwa teknologi ketekniksipilan semakin pesat perkembangannya di dunia. Dunia saat ini membangunnya ke bawah seperti subway MRT and subway station construction, basement and tunneling construction termasuk konstruksi infrastruktur terkait energi seperti LNG Receiving Terminal, Pembangkit Listrik menggunakan energi terbarukan lepas pantai seperti offshore wind power generation dan seterusnya. Melihat pesatnya perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi di luar sana menuntut tenaga pengajar di kampus untuk terus mengupdate ilmu yang dimililikinya bahkan di era serba internet saat ini mahasiswa lebih dituntut untuk belajar di luar sana langsung bersentuhan dengan industri termasuk senior-senior profesional yang bekerja di sektor energi untuk mendapatkan pencerahan keinsinyuran dan teknologi yang paling mutakhir. Sesi kuliah tamu ini tidak lain salah satu cara menghubungkan para mahasiswa dan profesional supaya terjadi interaksi yang lebih dalam lagi tentang kebutuhan dunia kerja kelak setelah mahasiswa(i) menyelesaikan studi di perguruan tinggi.

Habibie Razak, dosen kuliah umum kali ini memaparkan tiga agenda paparan dan diskusi antara lain: gambaran proyek infrastruktur strategis prioritas nasional di Indonesia saat ini, gambaran proyek infrastruktur energi termasuk pembangkit listrik, gas dan LNG dan apa yang harus disiapkan untuk bisa berperan serta di proyek-proyek infrastruktur energi nasional di Indonesia. Habibie dalam paparannya menyampaikan bahwa kita masih kekurangan Insinyur untuk mengeksekusi proyek 35Ribu MW, setidaknya kita  membutuhkan sekitar 50 Ribu Insinyur hanya untuk proyek ketenagalistrikan saja. Diperkirakan untuk menutup kekurangan Insinyur Indonesia setidaknya bakalan 5.900 Insinyur Asing/Professional Engineer mengisi posisi yang tersedia.

Berbicara tentang Strategi Peningkatan Kapasitas Pelaku Jasa Konstruksi Pada Proyek Ketenagalistrikan 35.000 MW setidaknya ada beberapa hal yang menjadi concern utama antara lain: bagaimana meningkatkan kinerja para perusahaan BUJK yang bisa dilakukan sebagai berikut:

  • Peningkatan kapabilitas dan kemampuan finansial
  • Peningkatan kinerja mutu dengan menerapkan sistem manajemen mutu bertaraf internasional
  • Peningkatan kinerja K4 dengan menerapkan sistem manajemen keamanan, keselamatan, kesehatan dan keberlanjutan (SMK4) bertaraf internasional
  • Pengembangan teknologi pembangkit yang diharapkan bisa dibangun anak bangsa.

Sedangkan Program Peningkatan Kompetensi  Tenaga Ahli Konstruksi tidak lain adalah memfasilitasi tenaga ahli :

  • Sertifikasi baru bagi tenaga yang baru akan mendapatkan sertifikasi.
  • Perpanjangan Sertifikat Kompetensi Kerja (SKK) Melalui Pengembangan Keprofesionalan Berkelanjutan (PKB), Peningkatan kualifikasi tenaga ahli dari Tenaga Ahli Muda menjadi Tenaga Ahli Madya dan Peningkatan tenaga Ahli Madya menjadi menjadi Tenaga Ahli Utama

Habibie juga memaparkan bahwa Indonesia sebagai negara yang cukup kaya akan gas alam berusaha mengoptimalkan penggunaannya untuk untuk kebutuhan energi domestik yang ramah lingkungan  dengan membangun infrastruktur LNG/gas dimulai dari LNG liquefaction, LNG transportation baik darat maupun laut, sampai dengan membangun LNG receiving terminal di beberapa wilayah di Indonesia. Sebutlah PLN yang saat ini rencana membangun lebih dari 40 LNG receiving terminal dari Sabang sampai Merauke dan proyek-proyek strategis ini semestinya diisi oleh para Insinyur Indonesia yang berdomisili di Timur Indonesia. Mau tidak mau kita harus siap atau para lulusan Perguruan Tinggi di KTI hanya akan menjadi penonton saja di kampung sendiri.

Sesi tanya jawab pada kuliah umum kali ini berlangsung sangat interaktif dan diisi dengan pertanyaan-pertanyaan yang berbobot dari para mahasiswa(i) yang hadir. Sukses terus proyek infrastruktur energi Indonesia, jayalah Insinyur Indonesia.
