Purwakarta, The Indonesia Post – Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment Luhut Binsar Panjaitan inspects the tunnel construction (Tunnel 2) for the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed train in Bunder Village, Jatiluhur, Purwakarta Regency, West Java, Wednesday.
“The location of the soil around Tunnel 2 is a little clayey, but it can be handled well,” said Coordinating Minister Luhut Pandjaitan, in Purwakarta, Wednesday.
Before reviewing the tunnel, Coordinating Minister Luhut first listened to the explanation from the developer of the national strategic project.
He said that according to the expert’s explanation, the problem of the clay soil condition could be resolved. Even the completion of the tunnel is targeted for completion in April 2022.
Previously, Coordinating Minister Luhut suspected that the soil structure at the project site had a lot of clay that could interfere with the project. However, it turns out that the current condition is getting better and it continues to be worked on inside, because the above has been drilled and concrete is also cast.
“According to experts, it can withstand shaking,” said Coordinating Minister Luhut Pandjaitan.
During his visit, Coordinating Minister Luhut used the train and transit at Ciganea Station, Purwakarta. Present at the review were the Regent of Purwakarta Anne Ratna Mustika and members of the Forkopimda Purwakarta. (ojn/bbs)
