Jakarta sports new style stack parking<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): Some of Jakarta's buildings have got a new style
\nparking system in efforts to provide better service to tenants.<\/p>\n
Two companies are using a stacked parking system while three
\nothers are having it constructed. The Bank Negara Indonesia (BNI
\n46) headquarters on Jl. Sudirman, has built two stacked parking
\nsystems since last year.<\/p>\n
The automatic stacking garages are in the large compound
\nbeside the building.<\/p>\n
Car owners park their vehicles by entering a car-sized box,
\nthe floor of which automatically elevates the car and parks it in
\na vacant box on the upper floor.<\/p>\n
There are four boxes each on the ground and upper floors but
\none of them is always kept empty to move incoming or outgoing
\ncars.<\/p>\n
"Although it was initially a pilot project, BNI has no plans
\nto build another automatic garage because it is quite expensive,"
\nsaid Arie Bastarie, the bank's personnel and administration
\nmanager said yesterday.<\/p>\n
"Each box cost Rp 17.5 million (US$7,300) last year," he said.<\/p>\n
Another office using the system is Wisma Mampang on Jl.
\nMampang Prapatan in South Jakarta. The office has a three-floor
\nstacking garage, with room for 20 cars.<\/p>\n
The producer of the stacked parking system, Budi Handoko, told
\nThe Jakarta Post his company was creating another parking system,
\n"a tower type with up to 15 floors".<\/p>\n
He said he created the whole system although he uses South
\nKorean-made motors for the elevator.<\/p>\n
Budi said the three companies that had ordered the new system,
\nwanted bigger garages, he said.<\/p>\n
He said he also planned to produce a rotary-type garage which
\nhe copied from those in use in other countries.<\/p>\n
This type can be built in a smaller space but needs more
\nenergy because it moves like a ferris wheel.<\/p>\n
One box, which stands on a 2.5 by six-square-meter plot of
\nland, costs between US$10,000 and US$12,000, depending on the
\ndesign, Budi said.<\/p>\n
The one used by the BNI 46 is the cheapest because the garage
\nis made of iron, while the others want their garage walls made of
\nglass.<\/p>\n
"One box like this costs US$ 7,500," he said. (13)<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/jakarta-sports-new-style-stack-parking-1447893297", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
