Case Studies
This became a major bottleneck to economic growth in North Sumatra with a serious power shortage between 2007-2009. This led to the Power Development Plan prepared by PT. Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) which included 11 planned power stations, however, this faced some difficulties resulting in only three projects moving to implementation.
Consequently, the plan was revised to incorporate ‘run-of-river’ type development schemes that could achieve, without losing its original viabilities, the reduction of financial burden, mitigation of social environment impacts, and contribution to the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) policy.
Situated underground and spanning 10km, the third Asahan hydroelectric power plant is situated on the Asahan River, Sumatra, Indonesia. When completed, the 174 megawatt river run system will improve the stability of the electrical supply in North Sumatra, whilst contributing to Indonesia’s 23% renewable energy generation share goal by 2025.
Nippon Koei’s Construction Supervision Services is responsible for detailed design and construction supervision on this vast infrastructure project. BDP have been leveraging our digital BIM platform to optimise the design and construction process so the client, contractor and Nippon Koei’s civil engineering team can make collaborative, fast and accurate decisions, which improve the construction process.
