The LRT (Light Rail Transit) Jakarta, operated by JAKPRO, opened the Phase 1 section, which connects the Pegangsaan Dua Station to the Velodrome Station, in December 2019. The project Phase 1B is for the extension between Velodrome and Manggarai Stations (approx. 6.4 km in length, fully elevated, 5 stations). The joint venture, including OC Global, is responsible for scrutinizing the basic design for the section, preparing bidding documents, providing bidding support, and construction supervision. By utilizing the 4D functions of building information modeling (BIM) in the detailed design and construction supervision, the project successfully achieved significant results in a short period without any accidents by streamlining the design, reducing construction risks, and optimizing process management. The completion of the entire line is scheduled for the end of August 2026, while the extension work from Manggarai Station to Dukuh Atas Station is scheduled to be contracted in the future. There are also plans to extend the line northwards to form an inner ring line.
The project contributes to alleviating the worsening traffic congestion in Jakarta’s capital city by connecting the city’s northeastern and central areas via LRT, thus enhancing mobility for local residents and realizing an environmentally friendly transportation society.
OC Global is contributing to the reduction of CO2 emissions and economic growth in the respective country through its commitment to ensuring safe, secure, and efficient infrastructure development in the field of railways with the latest technologies.
