TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - President director of state-owned contractor firm Wijaya Karya, Bintang Perbowo, expressed optimism that the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed train project would complete on time.
Bintang revealed that his company has acquired all development permits and is currently applying for land acquisition permit.
“All permits are complete. The land [acquisition permit] has progressed to 85 percent. It’s expected to be 100 percent in December,” he told Tempo at the CEO Forum held in Jakarta on Thursday, November 24, 2016.
The land acquisition in Halim Perdanakusuma Airport area, Bintang said, would not be a problem, since it has been discussed in a limited meeting.
“[The land acquisition] has been approved yesterday. Perhaps the President will inspect the location this week,” he added.
Bintang explained that in order to expedite the infrastructure development, the company will procure heavy equipment to support the project development. The company is also building precast concrete plants.
“We’re preparing precast concrete plants along the railway because it’s impossible for us to transport concrete using trucks,” he said.
