PT Krakatau Steel (Persero) Tbk\/Krakatau Steel Group (KRAS) has\nstrengthened its commitment to national development through innovation\nin modular steel infrastructure that enables rapid construction and\nadaptation. This approach is designed as a concrete solution to meet the\nbasic needs of Indonesian society broadly.<\/p>\n
Krakatau Steel Chief Executive Officer Akbar Djohan stated that this\nmodular steel transformation represents a tangible manifestation of the\ncompany\u2019s commitment to the public interest.<\/p>\n
According to him, modular steel is not merely a construction\ninnovation, but rather a social movement to provide physical facilities\nthat are safe, appropriate, and responsive to contemporary needs.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur focus extends beyond commercial aspects. We are committed to\nensuring that national steel technology serves as a humanitarian\nsolution and a pillar of sustainable development,\u201d said Akbar Djohan,\nwho also serves as Chairman of the Indonesian Iron & Steel Industry\nAssociation (IISIA) and Chairman of the Indonesian Logistics and Freight\nForwarder Association (ALFI\/ILFA), on Monday, 9 March 2026.<\/p>\n
He explained that for Krakatau Steel Group, steel is not merely a\ncommodity but a genuine humanitarian solution. Through modular\ntechnology that enables rapid construction, the company began 2026 with\nconcrete action at three strategic locations across Indonesia.<\/p>\n
The initiative commenced on 2 February 2026 in North Sumatra, with\nthe construction of a Nutrition Fulfilment Service Unit (SPPG) to\naccelerate the Free Nutritious Meal Programme. This commitment continued\nto Bener Meriah, Aceh, on 12 February, where the Waskita Emergency\nClinic was established as a rapid response for residents affected by\nflash flooding. The initiative then reached Makassar, South Sulawesi, on\n18 February with the completion of the Modular SPPG at Hasanuddin\nUniversity.<\/p>\n
According to him, this series of projects demonstrates that in\nKrakatau Steel\u2019s hands, the power of steel has transformed into adaptive\npublic service infrastructure that is safe and wholly committed to\npeople\u2019s welfare.<\/p>\n
He also emphasised that Krakatau Steel\u2019s modular steel is not merely\nabout speed, but rather a manifestation of future construction that is\nenvironmentally friendly.<\/p>\n
\u201cThrough optimisation of materials that minimise waste, ensure\ndurability, and provide flexibility for relocation, this innovation\nbecomes an answer to Indonesia\u2019s green development challenges,\u201d he\nstated.<\/p>\n
This strategic initiative, he added, aligns with the national\nsustainable development agenda outlined in President Prabowo Subianto\u2019s\nAsta Cita vision.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy combining industrial efficiency and environmental conservation,\nwe ensure that every infrastructure built today is a safe and\nsustainable legacy for future generations,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/modular-steel-infrastructure-innovation-a-solution-to-meet-indonesias-basic-needs-1773057266", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
