Repairs to the sheet pile located on the West Outer Ring Road, RW 02, Kamal Muara Urban Village, Penjaringan Sub-district, North Jakarta, which collapsed some time ago are targeted for completion next week.

It has been ongoing since August 2 and has touched 80 percent

Penjaringan Sub-district Water Resources (SDA) Executing Unit Head, Pendi said repairs needed to be conducted soon, as there was a section of plasterboard at the toll road entrance area which had collapsed due to being eroded by heavy rain early last year.

"It is done using river stones and the construction was made conical, measuring 80 centimeters wide at the bottom and 40 centimeters at the top," he expressed, Wednesday (8/21).

He explained the work involved eight personnel using supporting tools manually. The sheet pile itself has 36 meters long and 100 centimeters high.

"It has been ongoing since August 2 and has touched 80 percent. It is targeted for completion by the end of this August," he explained.

The work received appreciation from Suwandi (46).

Hopefully, it could prevent flooding in the surrounding area.

"Thanks for repairing the channel's sheet pile, especially since this channel is in the middle of residential areas and the area leading to the toll entrance to the airport," he closed.
