Jakarta, August 1, 2025 – PT Solusi Bangun Indonesia Tbk, the producer of the versatile and innovative cement brand 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 developed into Blok M – ASEAN Hub. Through eco-friendly and innovative solutions, ThruCrete and DekoCrete, Solusi Bangun Indonesia supports the development of pedestrian pathways that are safe, comfortable, and sustainable.
The Blok M area is known as one of Jakarta’s strategic commercial and transportation hubs, currently being revitalized by the Jakarta Provincial Government into Blok M ASEAN Hub—a center for inclusive and creative economic and cultural activities. Every day, thousands of people pass through the area, including MRT and TransJakarta commuters as well as visitors to culinary centers and public spaces.
As the area strengthens its role as a regional public mobility hub, the need for safe, comfortable, and inclusive pedestrian walkways becomes a priority. Quality sidewalks are not only about aesthetics but also involve safety, accessibility, and resilience to the impacts of climate change.
To address this need, PT Pendawa Lestari Perkasa has introduced the ThruCrete porous concrete solution, which can absorb up to 250 liters of water per square meter per minute, allowing water to flow directly into the ground. This is complemented by DekoCrete, a decorative concrete with anti-slip texture that enhances pedestrian safety. The combination of these two products ensures sidewalks that are not only eco-friendly but also aesthetic and durable.
“Pedestrian spaces are a right of urban residents. Therefore, the choice of materials is crucial to support facilities that are not only aesthetic and functional but also resilient to 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 work safety, considering the high level of public mobility in the area. “Planning, execution, and project completion have been carefully coordinated with all involved parties. We have implemented safety procedures, including temporary pedestrian routes and secure project zones in accordance with safety standards,” said Widodo Ariawan.
Beyond the Blok M area, ThruCrete and DekoCrete have been applied in various sidewalk and green open space projects in Jakarta and other cities such as GBK Orchid Garden, Taman Suroboyo, Taman Wiyung in Surabaya, Tegalega Green Open Space in Bandung, and Depok City Square. Even in the operational areas of Juanda International Airport, ThruCrete strengthens drainage systems to prevent flooding.
With these innovative concrete products, ThruCrete and DekoCrete, Solusi Bangun Indonesia—part of PT Semen Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (SIG)—supports the development of cities that continue to progress without compromising the environment and citizens’ comfort. A pedestrian-friendly city, free from flooding, and climate-resilient is no longer just a concept, but a real solution.
