SEMINAR NASIONAL Civil Explosion #12 "Memperkuat Ketahanan Infrastruktur Berkelanjutan Menuju Indonesia Emas 2045"
Yogyakarta, Sept 7th, 2024 – In order to support Indonesia's vision to become a developed country by 2045, sustainable and high-quality infrastructure development is one of the main priorities. The development of material technology and construction structures opens up opportunities to create buildings that are stronger, more durable and efficient. One technology that is often overlooked but has a crucial role in this is geosynthetics.
Geosynthetics, although often considered simple, play an important role in improving the stability, bearing capacity and drainage of soil in a variety of modern infrastructure projects. To introduce and explore more deeply about this technology, Civil Engineering and Planning Students at the Faculty of Engineering, Yogyakarta State University (UNY) held a National Seminar with the theme "Strengthening the Resilience of Sustainable Infrastructure Towards a Golden Indonesia 2045."
This online seminar was attended by many students. One of the presenters in this seminar was Mr Dandung Sri Harninto, S.T., M.T., IPU as President Director of PT Geoforce Indonesia, he shared in-depth knowledge regarding the function and application of geosynthetic materials. In his presentation, Mr Dandung explained how this material can be used to improve the quality of infrastructure, from highway projects to large building construction.
It is hoped that this seminar will provide new insights and encourage the use of geosynthetic technology in infrastructure projects in Indonesia. By utilizing this technology, it is hoped that infrastructure development in Indonesia can become more sustainable and efficient, supporting the country's vision to achieve developed country status by 2045.
