Japanese engineering firm Oriental Consultants Global (OC Global) and its subsidiary, PT Oriental Consultants Indonesia (PT OC Indonesia), have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with PT Mass Rapid Transit Jakarta (PT MRT Jakarta) to establish business cooperation in Jakarta, Indonesia.

\n\n

Under this MOU, the parties agreed to collaborate in the field of transit-oriented development (TOD), including transit hub development, mobility planning and management, logistics and smart city initiatives, by complementing each other’s expertise and experience to create new business opportunities.

\n\n

PT MRT Jakarta is a public enterprise operating the MRT system in Jakarta. The company has been designated as the master developer for TOD along the MRT lines.

\n\n

Since the 1980s, OC Global has been involved in numerous transportation network development projects in Greater Jakarta, beginning with the formulation of the region’s transportation masterplan. The company has also actively dispatched specialists in urban planning and development, including TOD, to support the urban planning and development initiatives in Jakarta.

\n\n

Building on this background, OC Global has signed several MOUs with PT MRT Jakarta since July 2022 for strategic collaboration in business development related to TOD in Jakarta, and in November 2024, co-hosted the TOD Investment Forum in Tokyo.

\n\n

With the latest MOU, the inclusion of PT OC Indonesia will further expand joint efforts to develop new business opportunities. In addition, the validity period of the MOU has been extended from three years in the previous agreement to five years this time, thereby further strengthening the trilateral collaboration among the three parties.

PT MRT Jakarta (Perseroda) opens a public information centre (MRT Jakarta Gallery) in Jakarta Kota Tua area. It is located inside Kota ‘Beos’ Commuterline station.

\n\n

DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan inaugurated the gallery on 10 September 2022, along with president director and construction director of PT MRT Jakarta (Perseroda) Mohamad Aprindy and Silvia Halim.

\n\n

“Members of the public will be able to get more information about the MRT Jakarta phase 2 construction at our visitor centre, especially facts about the construction project in the Kota Tua area. Visitors can see miniatures of the future Kota MRT station, MRT train set, and tunnel boring machine (TBM) used to dig the underground tunnels,” explained Mr Aprindy.

\n\n

”Visitors could also see archaeological findings found at MRT Jakarta’s construction sites; building information modelling (BIM) system used for the construction project; as well as television screens exhibiting informative videos, animations, and infographics about MRT Jakarta. In addition, visitors can also take pictures in front of an underground tunnel photo wall and stay around in our designated seating area.”

\n\n

Mr Aprindy added, “We also use the HoloLens technology and interactive projector to visualise the Kota MRT station. Other than that, we also provide Kota Tua special edition multi-trip ticket (MTT) cards and MRT Jakarta-themed souvenirs for public purchase.” PT MRT Jakarta (Perseroda) currently has another public information centre in Monas that is open for public.

\n\n

“We are very pleased to be able to contribute through Bentley software solutions and services in the construction of MRT Jakarta phase 2 project, which would directly impact people’s daily mobility, especially residents in the vicinity of the MRT stations. Historically, railway infrastructures had given the greatest impacts on economic growth and sustainable development,” said Kaushik Chakraborty, vice president for Asia Pacific at Bentley Systems.

\n\n

“I would like to congratulate MRT Jakarta for establishing the visitor information centre that exhibits information on the technology used for the construction of MRT Jakarta. It will certainly inspire the public, and it is such an honour for us to be able to become part of this journey with MRT Jakarta,” concluded Mr Chakraborty.

\n\n

The MRT Jakarta Gallery in Kota Tua is supported by Bentley software solutions and services. Visitors can enter the gallery from the west parking area on the north side of Beos Commuterline station and train platform area. The gallery is open daily from Monday to Sunday at 09.00-18.00 (Western Indonesia Time).

A joint venture of Japanese contractor Shimizu Corporation and Indonesian state-owned company PT Adhi Karya (Persero) Tbk has won the Contract Package 202 for the Jakarta MRT North-South Line Phase 2. Awarded by PT MRT Jakarta, it involves a 1,840-m-long underground section with three stations – Harmoni, Sawah Besar and Mangga Besar.

\n\n

Jakarta MRT is Indonesia’s first urban high-speed railway incorporating a metro system, and the 15.7-km-long first phase of the project between Central Jakarta and South Jakarta commenced its operation in March 2019. The civil and building work for the Phase 1 comprised six design-and-build contract packages, with Shimizu responsible for three of them, two as a JV lead company and one as a JV member.

\n\n

Phase 2 of the project will construct a 6.0-km rail line, extending from Bundaran HI Station at the northern end of the already-operational section up to the Kota district in northern Jakarta, where the seven new stations will be built. The construction work is divided into three contract packages, of which the CP201 – with a length of 2,676 m – from Bundaran HI Station to Harmoni Station was awarded to Shimizu-Adhi Karya JV in March 2020 as the first construction contract of the three packages.

\n\n

On the newly awarded CP202 contract, Shimizu explained that this 1,840-m underground section will include the construction of Harmoni Station with a length of 235 m, featuring two levels; Sawah Besar Station with a 200 m length and four levels; and Mangga Besar Station with a 220 m length and four levels.

\n\n

The tunnelling work consists of four shield tunnels connecting the stations (two sections for inbound and outbound respectively, with each bound’s total tunnel length of 1,184 m; a finished inner diameter of 6.05 m), with a length of 394 m between Harmoni-Sawah Besar and a length of 790 m between Sawah Besar-Mangga Besar. The construction period is approximately 89 months starting from July 2022. The Phase 2 is scheduled to begin its operation in 2029.

\n\n

According to Shimizu, in the CP202 contract package, large-scale underground stations will be built using the cut-and-cover method under a trunk road with extremely heavy traffic. Construction activities will be carried out while diverting the traffic lanes various times, and it will also be necessary to partially cover the canal that runs through the centre of the trunk road.

\n\n

In addition, there are many buildings and underground pipes in proximity, “making this a highly challenging urban civil engineering project requiring a construction plan with careful consideration of the impact on the surrounding areas,” said the contractor.

\n\n

Shimizu pointed out that “Indonesia’s rapid economic growth has made the expansion of transportation infrastructure and environmental considerations a key issue for future development, and there is a need to improve the public transportation. We will continue to contribute to infrastructure development in Indonesia, focusing on large-scale construction projects where we can make the most of our technical capabilities.”
