Brantas Abipraya Accelerates People's School Construction for Education Equity

PT Brantas Abipraya (Persero), Indonesia’s state-owned construction enterprise, is accelerating the completion of the ‘Sekolah Rakyat’ (People’s School) development in Sipak Village, Jasinga District, Bogor Regency, West Java, to promote educational equality.

“Through the development of the Bogor Regency People’s School, we continue to provide high-quality, safe, and timely completed educational facilities so they can be immediately utilised by the community,” said Brantas Abipraya Corporate Secretary Dian Sovana in an official statement received in Jakarta on Wednesday.

In support of government targets, Brantas Abipraya is continuously accelerating the completion of this school development in Bogor Regency. The state-owned construction company is ensuring that the project remains on track while prioritising construction quality, occupational safety, and punctuality.

As one of the executing contractors, Dian noted that Brantas Abipraya has successfully maintained construction progress according to schedule, despite facing complex geographical challenges. As of 28 June 2024, physical progress has reached 81.42 per cent and has now entered the final finishing stage.

“We appreciate the synergy of all parties involved, which has allowed this project to proceed according to target despite the challenges of difficult terrain,” said Dian.

The construction of the Bogor Regency People’s School presents unique challenges, as the project site was previously a forested area with contoured land and extreme slope gradients.

Furthermore, high rainfall intensity and limited access to the location have posed challenges in the mobilisation of materials and the execution of construction works.

The project involves approximately 960 workers and has received support from 25 personnel from the Indonesian Army’s Territorial Development (TP) unit. This collaboration represents a synergy aimed at accelerating the completion of strategic national projects, which are expected to enhance educational quality and drive economic growth in the Jasinga region and its surroundings.

“Moving forward, Brantas Abipraya will continue to deliver high-quality, precise, and timely infrastructure works that provide added value to the community as part of our support for a more advanced and competitive Indonesia,” concluded Dian.
