Last Friday, 3 March 2023 PT. Geoforce Indonesia had the opportunity to become a speaker at a guest lecture which was held offline by the Semarang PU Polytechnic. In this guest lecture, PT. Geoforce Indonesia was represented by Mr. Dandung Sri Harninto as the Main Director as a speaker and was attended by Mr. Prof. Ir. Indratmo Soekarno, APPLICATION OF GEOTECHNIC SCIENCE / SOIL MECHANICS IN THE WORLD OF CIVIL ENGINEERING CONSTRUCTION is intended for PU Polytechnic students and was attended by 175 participants in total. This activity aims as a means of transferring knowledge and experience of PT. geoforce Indonesia regarding the APPLICATIONS OF GEOTECHNIC SCIENCE / SOIL MECHANICS IN THE WORLD OF CIVIL ENGINEERING CONSTRUCTION.

As the speaker, Mr. Dandung Sri Harninto explained about Introduction to General Geological Soil Mechanics and Soil Investigation. Among them consist of General Geology, Types of aid and soil, Soil Investigations, Laboratory Tests. Mr. Dandung also conveyed the Introduction to Geosynthetics which consisted of explanations of Geosynthetics, Types of Geosynthetics and Geosynthetic Functions. In addition, in the final session Mr. Dandung also explained what were the challenges in building Walls with Geosynthetic Reinforcement.

On 9 February 2023, PT. Geoforce Indonesia, represented by the main director, Mr. Dandung Sri Harninto, had the opportunity to be one of the speakers at the WEBINAR HAKI KOMDA YOGYAKARTA : CONCRETE TECHNOLOGY ON EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT STRUCTURE. This Webinar event is a collaboration between HAKI KOMDA YOGYAKARTA and SIPILPEDIA ACADEMY. There are several discussions in this Webinar, including:

• Fiber Concrete by Prof. Ir. Iman Satyarno, ME., Ph.D.
• Requirements for Reinforced Concrete Materials for Earthquake Resistant Buildings by Prof. Ir. Iswandi Imran, M.A.Sc., Ph.D.
• Lightweight Concrete and Its Application on Precast Slabs as an Effort to Reduce Earthquake Loads in Buildings by Prof. Ir. Bambang Suhendro, M.Sc., Ph.D.

The material discussed by Mr. Dandung Sri Harninto is Earthquake Resistant Local Precast Concrete Segmental Retaining Walls With Geosynthetic Reinforcement. In his material presentation, Mr. Dandung gave a brief description of the company Geoforce Indonesia, Challenges for Increasing Local Products, Challenges for Retaining Walls, Geosynthetic DPT Design Process and Solutions using GSRW and GBRW.

Geoforce Segmental Retaining Wall (GSRW) is a retaining wall construction consisting of segmental facing precast concrete, compacted embankment layers, and a GI-Strip belt reinforcement system (made in Indonesia). Meanwhile, we call precast facing walls with smaller dimensions as Geoforce Block Retaining Walls (GBRW). The facing of the GSRW and GBRW walls is made of precast concrete which is printed with high accuracy. Therefore, the use of GSRW is considered to be far more effective, efficient and economical because it uses relatively thin panels and a lighter structure.

On January 25-26 2023, PT Geoforce Indonesia has successfully held a 2022 PERFORMANCE EVALUATION AND 2023 WORK PLAN MEETING. This meeting is intended for all divisions in PT Geoforce Indonesia.

"We can certainly realize Green Construction (Green Construction) by minimizing construction's carbon footprint," said the Sales, Marketing & Engineering Director of PT. Geoforce Indonesia Mr. Abdul Aziz Avicenna M.T., as a guest speaker at the Claproyex Talkshow and Expo 6 with the theme "Viewing Green Industrial Area Infrastructure Development Supporting Indonesia's Future" Sunday, September 11, 2022. The event was organized by Clapeyron Media Civil Engineering Student Magazine, University of Gajah Mada it aims that the Indonesian people can enrich their knowledge about the importance of infrastructure development and green areas that are oriented towards Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

On his occasion, Mr. Aziz explained several ways to realize Green Construction by minimizing construction's carbon footprint. Among them, namely, maximizing the use of local products so as to increase the Domestic Component Level (TKDN). Reducing waste production by maximizing the use of materials that can be recycled (Recycle Materials) and trying to minimize the use of iron and concrete and replace them by using the Geosynthetic Technology System.

One of the Geosynthetic Technology Systems that can be applied as an alternative solution to Green Construction is Facing Green using Geoframe. Geoframe is a Retaining Wall Construction Innovation from compacted heap soil with a Geogrid reinforcement system. Geogrids are designed with high durability so they are resistant to organic bacteria and soil acidity. The facing Geoframe is made of a galvanized iron frame which can later be planted with green vines so that it looks neater, beautiful and environmentally friendly, of course this supports the application of the Green Construction concept. The use of the Geoframe system also has other advantages, including a fast installation process, very competitive prices, and very flexible products.-
