In September 2012, the PT Adhi Karya (Persero) Tbk company awarded to Menard Asia the soil improvement works for Phase 2 of the Terminal 3 apron extension project at Soekarno Hatta International Airport in Jakarta. The project was designed to reinforce a surface area of about 345,000 sq. metres by installing Controlled Modulus Columns.
Menard had previously carried out Phase 1, covering 67,000 sq. metres, in 2011. Once development works have been completed, the apron will be able to accommodate Boeing 747 aircraft. Phase 2 of the project was completed in September 2013.
The Menard group develops foundation solutions based on ground improvement and reinforcement technologies. Its treatments eliminate the need for the deep foundations traditionally used to support surface structures.
