TALKSHOW CLAPROYEX #6: REVIEWING INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT IN GREEN INDUSTRIAL AREA TO SUPPORT THE FUTURE OF INDONESIA.
"We can certainly realize Green Construction (Green Construction) by minimizing construction's carbon footprint," said the Sales, Marketing & Engineering Director of PT. Geoforce Indonesia Mr. Abdul Aziz Avicenna M.T., as a guest speaker at the Claproyex Talkshow and Expo 6 with the theme "Viewing Green Industrial Area Infrastructure Development Supporting Indonesia's Future" Sunday, September 11, 2022. The event was organized by Clapeyron Media Civil Engineering Student Magazine, University of Gajah Mada it aims that the Indonesian people can enrich their knowledge about the importance of infrastructure development and green areas that are oriented towards Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
On his occasion, Mr. Aziz explained several ways to realize Green Construction by minimizing construction's carbon footprint. Among them, namely, maximizing the use of local products so as to increase the Domestic Component Level (TKDN). Reducing waste production by maximizing the use of materials that can be recycled (Recycle Materials) and trying to minimize the use of iron and concrete and replace them by using the Geosynthetic Technology System.
One of the Geosynthetic Technology Systems that can be applied as an alternative solution to Green Construction is Facing Green using Geoframe. Geoframe is a Retaining Wall Construction Innovation from compacted heap soil with a Geogrid reinforcement system. Geogrids are designed with high durability so they are resistant to organic bacteria and soil acidity. The facing Geoframe is made of a galvanized iron frame which can later be planted with green vines so that it looks neater, beautiful and environmentally friendly, of course this supports the application of the Green Construction concept. The use of the Geoframe system also has other advantages, including a fast installation process, very competitive prices, and very flexible products.-
