1. Customer Background

• Company Overview: PT. BEVANANDA Indonesia, based in Jakarta, is a prominent environmental engineering firm specializing in sustainable water management and soil conservation projects across Indonesia. With a strong presence in the Southeast Asian market, they focuses on providing environmentally friendly and cost-effective solutions for erosion control, flood prevention, and habitat restoration.

• Project Background: PT. BEVANANDA was awarded a major project to address severe coastal erosion on the island of Sumatra. The local community was facing significant damage to its coastal ecosystem due to rising sea levels and heavy rainfall. The company was tasked with implementing a long-term solution to protect the shoreline, reduce soil erosion, and restore the coastal ecosystem.

2. Customer Needs and Challenges

• Project Challenges: The region was experiencing increasingly frequent storms and tidal surges, which led to rapid erosion of the coastal embankments. Local soil was highly susceptible to erosion, and existing methods like concrete barriers were failing to provide long-term stability. PT GreenTech needed an affordable, durable, and eco-friendly solution that would not only protect the coastline but also restore the area’s ecological balance.

• Customer Needs: they required a solution that could be easily adapted to the local terrain, withstand extreme weather conditions, and promote the growth of native vegetation to further stabilize the embankments.

3. Our Solution

• Customized Gabion Mesh for Coastal Protection: After assessing the site’s unique needs, we provided  with a tailored gabion mesh solution designed specifically for coastal erosion control. The gabion mesh was made from high-quality galvanized steel with a PVC coating for enhanced corrosion resistance, essential for withstanding the harsh marine environment. Additionally, the open structure of the gabions allows for sedimentation and plant growth, further enhancing the natural stability of the shoreline.

• Site-Specific Design: We designed the gabion mesh systems to fit the topography of the coastline and the local tidal patterns, ensuring that they would effectively absorb the impact of storm surges and tidal forces.

4. Project Implementation

• Project Rollout: The project was executed in phases, with the gabion mesh delivered in batches to meet the timeline. Our team worked closely with PT GreenTech’s local contractors, providing on-site technical support during the installation process.

• Technical Support and Training: In addition to direct installation assistance, we conducted training sessions for the local workforce to ensure they understood the best practices for installing and maintaining the gabion mesh system. Our support ensured that the project was completed on schedule and that the local team could independently manage future maintenance.

5. Results and Impact

• Project Outcomes: The gabion mesh systems significantly reduced the coastal erosion rate. The natural filtration provided by the mesh allowed native vegetation to take root, stabilizing the soil and improving the local habitat. After completion, the coastline showed a marked improvement in environmental stability, and the local community expressed satisfaction with the long-term effectiveness of the solution.

• Customer Feedback: “'We were impressed by the durability and functionality of the gabion mesh solution. Not only did it provide the necessary protection against erosion, but it also helped restore the natural habitat along the coastline. The support provided by your team was invaluable in ensuring the project’s success.' — Project Manager, PT. BEVANANDA Indonesia”

6. Conclusion and Future Collaboration

• Continued Partnership: PT. BEVANANDA Indonesia expressed a strong interest in continuing their partnership with us for future coastal protection projects. Based on the success of this project, they are considering using our gabion mesh systems in other erosion control and riverbank stabilization projects throughout Indonesia.

• Looking Ahead: We look forward to further collaborations with PT GreenTech Indonesia to address environmental challenges across Southeast Asia, continuing to provide innovative solutions for sustainable coastal management and ecological restoration.
