Jakarta Water Resources Sub-dept.'s East Stream Section Head, Nelson Simanjuntak stated that sheetpile is installed up to 1,900 meters long with 12- 15 centimeters wide. It has been conducted since July and is targeted to be finished by the end of this year.

The work has touched more than 45 percent. If it is finished, the water will be flowed to the Sunter River before being dumped into the sea.
"This work is still our focus now, so for this year we have yet to do dredging to deepen the river," he stressed.
