"Because it is located inside TNI Headquarter area, we have to be extra careful in dredging the reservoir. Moreover, TNI Commander's office is located near the reservoir," he explained, Tuesday (5/18).
According to him, mud thickness varies between 2-4 meters. His side used 1 standard excavator, 2 long arms excavators, 2 large amphibious excavators, and one mini excavator.
His side also deployed 2 dump trucks to transport dredged mud that will be disposed to East Flood Canal (KBT) Sandtrap in Cakung.
