Reclamation project

Reclamation project

JAKARTA (JP): Belgian-based Dredging International has won the
contract for reclamation of a 55-hectare area at Ancol Barat in
North Jakarta.

The area to be reclaimed is located west of the port at
Tanjung Priok and is allotted for residential and industrial
development.

The project will be jointly undertaken by Dredging
International and two local contractors, PT Jaya Konstruksi and
PT Sac Nusantara. The project's client is PT Pembangunan Jaya.

Dredging operations will begin later this year after
preliminary works, including the construction of breakwaters and
dikes by the local contractors.

Some two cubic meters of sand will be pumped ashore for the
reclamation.

Drainage systems will be established by the local contractors
after dredging operations are completed, according to Dredging
International. (sur)
