The Seribu Islands Water Resources (SDA) Sub-agency is fast-tracking the repair of the seawall on the northeast side of RT 03/04, Pramuka Island, Panggang Island Urban Village, North Seribu Islands Sub-district.
We’re all for this upgrade
Currently, the project stands at 80% completion, showcasing the city’s commitment to reinforcing island infrastructure and coastal resilience.
Seribu Islands Water Resources Sub-agency Head, Frans Agustinus Siahaan explained that the repairs are essential to restore a seawall battered by erosion and relentless waves, a situation further exacerbated by high tides.
Kelapa Island Seawall Heightened to Combat Tidal Floods"The project involves constructing and repairing a 50-meter stretch of the embankment. We're reinforcing the structure to ensure it is durable enough to combat future abrasion," he expressed, Wednesday (7/15).
Frans shared that the seawall is designed with a 70-centimeter base and a 35-centimeter top, standing 1.2 meters high.
"To guarantee maximum structural integrity, we are using reinforced concrete pillars with 12mm and 8mm steel bars, spaced at eight-meter intervals," he explained.
The seawall's top layer is reinforced with concrete for maximum strength. Beyond its primary role in coastal protection, the structure is designed to be multi-functional, serving as a new spot for residents and visitors to relax and enjoy the ocean scenery.
He explained personnel has been deployed to execute the manual construction, which kicked off on June 9, 2026. The project is currently on track to be finalized by next week.
"Hope this structure will offer maximum protection while significantly enhancing the experience for both the local community and visitors," he added.
The action above received appreciation from the RW 04 Chair, Panggang Island Urban Village, Titin.
"We’re all for this upgrade. Hopefully, once the seawall is finished, the neighborhood will look more organized, and tourists will have an even better experience when visiting Pramuka Island," she admitted.
