It is the cover of the last main pile foundation with a concrete volume of 3,200 cubic meters

PT Jakpro has completed the final foundation cover casting for the main roof supports for the eight Jakarta International Stadium (JIS) projects.

Casting itself uses the slip form technique and takes about 30 hours starting Friday (8/21) to Sunday (8/23).

"It is the cover of the last main pile foundation with a concrete volume of 3,200 cubic meters," expressed JIS Project Director, Iwan Takwin, Sunday (8/23).

It was executed in the northern part of the stadium. The total construction of the entire pillar reached eight with 61.7 meters height per each. It took eight months, precisely since November 30, 2019.

This time, his party deployed five concrete pumps with 100 cubic meters per hour capacity that was expected to complete the construction on time.

"Using these pumps, the casting duration takes about 30 hours," he told.

He assessed the foundation cover was made to support the main pillars that support the roof which later functions to distribute the load from the JIS stadium's roof measuring 244 meters x 269 meters to the ground and forms a strong and stable support structure. Even the building would also be supported by small supporting poles.

By doing so, on the third week of August, the project had touched 27 percent or faster 1 percent than the target at 26 percent. After it was completed, it would be entered roof construction process in the forthcoming September. Besides that, his party was also accelerating the construction of two training stadiums targeted at the end of this year.
