PT Wijaya Karya (Persero) Tbk (WIKA) has implemented Building Information Modeling (BIM) up to 5D level alongside LiDAR integration in the construction of Sekolah Rakyat Jawa Tengah I in Banyumas. This project is part of the Ministry of Public Works and Housing’s education infrastructure program as the owner.
The application of these technologies has reduced earthwork volume by up to 80,000 cubic meters. The use of LiDAR, combined with Civil 3D and Revit, enables precise land contour analysis from the early stages, optimizing cut-and-fill requirements and accelerating site development by more than two months ahead of schedule.
In addition, BIM 5D ensures accurate integration of design, time, and cost, minimizing potential deviations during construction.
President Director of WIKA, Agung Budi Waskito, stated that digital technology implementation is key to improving project performance while supporting national priority agendas.
“BIM 5D and digital technologies enhance planning precision and execution efficiency. This reflects WIKA’s tangible contribution to supporting the Government’s Asta Cita agenda, particularly in strengthening human capital through improved access to education and accelerated poverty alleviation,” he said.
Amid technical challenges such as soil conditions and high rainfall, WIKA emphasizes cross-functional collaboration between engineering, production, and quality control teams to maintain work quality, especially in the foundation phase.
Beyond technical aspects, the Banyumas People’s School project also carries significant social impact. In the short term, it is expected to help reduce school dropout rates in Banyumas Regency, which currently affect around 15,000 children. In the long term, the school is projected to accommodate up to 1,300 new students and serve as a strategic step in improving education quality while breaking the cycle of poverty.
This project is part of the broader development of education infrastructure in Central Java and is targeted for completion in line with quality, timeline, cost, and occupational safety standards.
