The Karian dam, which is located in the Banten province and is about an hour’s drive from Jakarta, is evidence of Indonesia’s dedication to water resource management.
With 2,226.44 Ha of dam area, up to 314,7 million cubic meters of raw water may be stored there. Additionally, it can irrigate 22,000 hectares of rice fields, producing 13.9 cubic meters of raw water per second for industrial, public water supply, and irrigation demands.
The Karian Dam is an essential piece of local infrastructure. At the Banten opening event, Indonesian President Joko Widodo declared that the Karian Dam was among the country’s largest dams.
This initiative, for which the government had to pay IDR 2.27 trillion (approximately US$ 146 million), is important for the region’s sustainability in the long run.
An efficient data collection
The requirement for extensive data collection was one of the main obstacles encountered throughout the Karian Dam project’s development. The engineering company chose PcVue due to its versatility and ease of usage.
The director of PT Sartika Mitrasejati, Mr. Satrio, emphasized the software’s user-friendly interface and cutting-edge capabilities by stating that “PcVue was easier to use than other products”. The crew can monitor the water flow via the dam and combine several subsystems on one platform thanks to PcVue software.
The actual difficulty was still gathering data across the considerable distance down the river. The flexibility and scalability of PcVue were essential in helping it overcome this obstacle.
A helpful technical support
Mr. Satrio mentioned, “PcVue’ support team was very accommodating and ensured that all our requests were met.” highlighting the team’s dedication to providing quick and efficient technical support.
Many interfaces with other products
Customized elements to satisfy the specific requirements of its infrastructure were essential to the dam project’s successful execution. The company was interfaced with a number of different systems, increasing the dam’s operational effectiveness by giving the operator access to a centralized information platform:- Remote monitoring through WebVue platform;
– Complete reporting using Dream Report;
– Integration of 8 CCTV cameras using Onvif protocol to confirm critical water level alarms visually;
A project with not only economic but also social impact
The Karian Dam project, which is Indonesia’s biggest dam, aims to improve people’s lives rather than merely smashing records. The dam is already altering life, even though the project is still growing with the addition of many telemetric stations. increasing the area’s agricultural productivity while simultaneously acting as a crucial flood prevention measure.
Globally, this project effort is also beneficial. The capital of Indonesia, Jakarta, is sinking at an alarming rate, posing a serious threat. Primarily resulting from over-extraction of groundwater, this subsidence puts the city’s infrastructure and, more crucially, the health of its residents at jeopardy. The city’s reliance on groundwater is lessened by the Karian Dam, which also helps to lessen the problem of subsidence.
The dam offers a fresh and dependable supply of water. Thus, the Karian dam is not only an essential infrastructure undertaking for effective irrigation and agricultural productivity, but it also plays a significant role in addressing the environmental and socioeconomic issues facing Indonesia.
The SCADA major company is proud to play a pivotal role in a project helping communities on such a large scale.
