Water channel repair on Jalan Raya Dermaga Klender, Duren Sawit, East Jakarta is accelerated. Repair on this 1.4 kilometers water channel is targeted to finish next week.

This work is mostly done and only its finishing

East Jakarta Water Resources (SDA) Sub-dept. Head, Mustajab explained, repair is done on that water channel because it has been damaged. Its sedimentation is piling up while the top of channel is coated by cast concrete thus it is difficult to do routine maintenance on that channel and causing inundation.

"We have a target to finish water channel repair on Jalan Raya Dermaga by next week. This work is mostly done and only its finishing," he mentioned, Tuesday (6/5).

According to him, 100x100 and 80x80 square centimeters U-Ditch concrete will be installed on water channel located by the north side of the road.

Meanwhile, 120x120 and 80x80 square centimeters U-Ditch will be installed on water channel located on the south side of the road. All the top side of this channel will be also coated by concrete which can be dismantled and installed easily.

"With this repair, we hope there will be no inundation in rainy season since we arrange this water channel well," he affirmed.
