IKN Development Progresses as WIKA-Built MPR Complex Reaches 23.83% Completion
Jakarta (ANTARA) — PT Wijaya Karya (Persero) Tbk (WIKA) has reported that construction of the People’s Consultative Assembly (MPR) building and complex in Nusantara (IKN) is 23.83% complete. The design-and-build project is targeted for completion and provisional handover (PHO) on 23 December 2027, with the entire parliamentary ecosystem expected to be fully operational in 2028.
The work covers Buildings A, B and C, which will house offices, meeting rooms and institutional support facilities. WIKA is also building an integrated public area comprising the People’s Plaza, Deliberation Terrace, Constitution/Democracy Museum and green open spaces, as well as a mosque for the legislative complex. The company is also carrying out landscaping, site drainage and underground utility network works.
Land clearance and terraced site preparation have been completed while preserving the existing land contours, as part of the project’s Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles. This approach preserves the natural setting, avoids disrupting the contours and reduces excavation volumes, making the work more cost-efficient. The modern tropical cylindrical architectural design has also been finalised and approved by the President.
The project team is currently carrying out excavation and earthworks, bored-pile foundations, substructure and superstructure works, as well as finishing.
To maintain quality and meet deadlines, the project uses Building Information Modelling (BIM) to identify clashes between architectural, structural and installation designs before construction, helping to prevent rework and material waste. Some structural elements use precast concrete to make on-site installation faster and more precise. Electricity cables, fibre-optic lines and drinking-water pipes run through underground utility tunnels with access points, so future maintenance will not require roads to be dug up.
Work is being carried out by teams across several shifts to meet the 750-calendar-day implementation target. WIKA is strictly applying its Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Golden Rules, with the aim of achieving zero accidents.
WIKA Corporate Secretary Ngatemin said that ground conditions and rainfall differing from forecasts had posed the main challenges for earthworks and foundations. “We are addressing them through precise control of excavation and filling, slope reinforcement to prevent landslides, and adjusting the concrete-pouring schedule to weather conditions. We also built access roads early to keep material deliveries moving,” Ngatemin said.
“We hope the MPR building and complex will become a modern, comfortable workplace for the legislative institution that is open to the public. By preserving the existing land contours and providing green open spaces, a plaza and a museum as public areas, the complex is designed to welcome the community and reflect WIKA’s commitment to the environment. WIKA will continue to maintain quality, timeliness and work safety until the project is handed over,” Ngatemin concluded.
