Jakarta, August 1, 2025 – PT Solusi Bangun Indonesia Tbk, producer of the innovative, versatile cement, Dynamix, through its subsidiary, PT Pendawa Lestari Perkasa, is contributing to the revitalization of sidewalks in the Blok M area of Jakarta, which is currently being prepared to become Blok M – ASEAN Center. Through innovative, environmentally friendly solutions, ThruCrete and DekoCrete, Solusi Bangun Indonesia supports the revitalization of safe, comfortable, and sustainable pedestrian paths.
The Blok M area is known as one of Jakarta's strategic commercial and transportation hubs, and is currently being revitalized by the Jakarta Provincial Government to become Blok M ASEAN Center—an inclusive and creative economic and cultural hub. Every day, thousands of people pass through this area, from MRT and TransJakarta users to visitors to culinary centers and public spaces.
As this area strengthens its role as a regional public mobility hub, the need for safe, comfortable, and inclusive pedestrian paths is a priority. Good sidewalks are not just about aesthetics, but also concern safety, accessibility, and resilience to the impacts of climate change.
To address this need, PT Pendawa Lestari Perkasa offers ThruCrete porous concrete, which has a high absorption capacity of up to 250 liters per square meter per minute to drain water directly into the ground, and DekoCrete, a decorative concrete with a slip-resistant texture that enhances pedestrian safety. The combination of these two products supports sidewalk quality that is not only environmentally friendly, but also aesthetically pleasing and durable.
"Pedestrian space is a right of city residents. Therefore, material selection is crucial to support facilities that are not only aesthetically pleasing and functional, but also resilient to the impacts of climate change and environmentally friendly," said Widodo Ariawan, Director of PT Pendawa Lestari Perkasa.
Widodo Ariawan added that the revitalization process in the Blok M area prioritizes occupational safety, given the high mobility of residents in the area. "The planning, execution, and completion of the work were carefully coordinated with all parties involved. We implemented occupational safety procedures, including the provision of temporary pedestrian walkways and securing the project area in accordance with safety standards," said Widodo Ariawan.
In addition to the Blok M area, ThruCrete and DekoCrete have been used in various sidewalk and green space projects in Jakarta and other cities, such as Taman Anggrek GBK, Taman Suroboyo, Taman Wiyung in Surabaya, Green Open Space Tegalega Bandung, and Alun-Alun Kota Depok. Even in the operational area of Juanda International Airport, ThruCrete strengthens drainage functions to prevent flooding.
With its innovative ThruCrete and DekoCrete concrete products, Solusi Bangun Indonesia, a subsidiary of PT Semen Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (SIG), supports the continued development of cities that strive to advance without compromising environmental and civic well-being. Pedestrian-friendly, flood-free, and climate-resilient cities are no longer just talk, but a real solution.
