Our Civil Engineering and Infrastructure Innovations
safe indeed has changed. In the past, engineering studies that became excellent were electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and civil engineering. Now, informatics engineering is an excellent technique. In the past, what was called infrastructure was roads, bridges or ports. Now, Infrastructure Innovations Our Civil Engineering infrastructure close to associations is digital infrastructure, various hardware and software that support the operation of the internet and the application of information-communication technology (ICT or ICT). However, actually there are still high dynamics in the field of (old) engineering. Electrical engineers certainly continue to think of a more efficient distribution network, while mechanical engineers are answering the challenge of finding new engines that are more environmentally friendly.Infrastructure Innovations Our Civil Engineering The challenge in civil engineering is likely to get new construction techniques that are stronger, more durable, cheaper, and — Infrastructure Innovations Our Civil Engineering along with that — faster. Watching a television program that shows the megastructure gives us an idea of how civil engineers are faced with the challenge of building large, high-complexity buildings, whether it's Taipei 101 or Burj Dubai. However, our priorities may not yet reach the megastructure. On the contrary, our challenges are still locked in the expansion of the construction of roads, ports and other public infrastructure. In an era that is still tinged with crisis,Infrastructure Innovations Our Civil Engineering also amid efforts to increase growth, expansion of infrastructure is one of the objectives of the stimulus program. This is also what the Government of China has done, which in the crisis period was aggressively spending tens of billions of US dollars to build highways, railways and dams for electricity generation. This gave birth to comments, China has now built a toll road to the mountains. ACPS One of the development problems that has still not been resolved in Indonesia is the limited infrastructure, including making potential investors think again when they invest here. The government has indeed realized this and launched a program such as the Infrastructure Summit. However, in the midst of the political hustle and bustle, there has been no breakthrough in infrastructure development. Amid efforts to increase infrastructure capacity, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, January 26, inaugurated the 35 km Kanci-Pejagan Toll Road.Infrastructure Innovations Our Civil Engineering What's interesting about this toll road is the implementation of civil engineering innovation work called adhi concrete Pavement system (ACPS). The inauguration on January 26 still leaves one or two questions, such as why we focus on toll roads, not on railroads or ordinary highways that favor more people. However, beyond the more ideological discourse, pragmatic considerations are indeed more pronounced. More importantly, the required infrastructure is available and if it can be made faster, better results, lower costs, and lower maintenance costs. To answer the above demands, the role of research and innovation is important. For construction companies that have existed for 50 years, such as Adhi Karya which introduced ACPS, the emergence of technologies such as Infrastructure Innovations Our Civil Engineering ACPS is also an answer. In terms of innovation, ACPS is a new jargon after in the past we heard of chicken claw construction techniques and sasrabahu arjuna techniques. In terms of road hardening techniques, people see ACPS as enrichment. If before 2009 there were only two techniques of road pavement, namely "flexible pavement" and "rigid pavement", after 2009 there were flexible pavements and rigid pavements which could be divided into two. The first is rigid pavement with prestresses which is none other than ACPS and, second, rigid pavement with cast in place.Infrastructure Innovations Our Civil Engineering Advocates of the ACPS technique claim that this technique results in faster construction times, higher quality and longer durability, less energy use, and more competitive total construction and maintenance costs. However, Deputy Minister of Public Works Hermanto Dardak who opened the scientific seminar on ACPS in Jakarta, Tuesday (9/3), reminded that, when made on an industrial scale, there are challenges to quality consistency. Hermanto also mentioned that it was necessary to look at the weaknesses in concrete. In addition to demanding precision on concrete plate joints, concrete use also requires evenness. If it can be guaranteed in one kilometer of concrete road, the part that is bubbling up Infrastructure Innovations Our Civil Engineering or down is not more than four meters, the road can only be called flat. As new innovation works are implemented, ACPS still has to face the test of time. However, its presence gives color to the work of national innovation (although the basic components of this innovation come from the US). Deputy Minister of BUMN Muhayat who also gave a speech at the seminar, in addition to inviting the public to appreciate the work of national findings, also highlighted//Infrastructure Innovations Our Civil Engineering
