Since its foundation in 1961, Hutama Karya (HK) always became a significant part for the history of Indonesian Infrastructure development. HK had produced a great deal of historical landmarks and projects around Indonesia, such as Indonesia’s House of Representative Building in Senayan, Jakarta; Cawang – Tj. Priok Toll-Road in Jakarta; Ampera Bridge in Palembang; as well as Ayer Hitam Toll-Road in Malaysia and Metro Manilla Skyway in Phillipines. During that period of time, HK always became the pioneer in construction technology and methods. For example, HK had established itself as the first contractors to apply pre-stressed concrete at Semanggi Intersection project in Jakarta. Then, HK also invented the ‘Sosrobahu’ technology—a special method in which builders could construct a fly-over road in the midst of active traffic without creating a significant traffic-jam. This technology was implemented at the Cawang – Tj. Priok Toll Road in Jakarta as well as at the Metro Manilla Skyway in the Phillipines. Today, HK was officially appointed by the Indonesian Government to develop Trans-Sumatera toll-road in Sumatera. Trans-Sumatera will connect Aceh all to the way to Bakahueni (Lampung) in a 2,770-kilometer length of toll-road. This entrusted Government’s assignment has creating a new direction for HK to transform itself, from a contractor to a full-fledged infrastructure developer, with broader field of business, wider need for the core-competency, in which all of that led to a greater opportunity for corporate growth and sustanaibility. Therefore, as a first step toward this massive transformation, HK had already change its long-standing corporate vision into a new one : “Indonesia’s Most Valuable Infrastructure Developer” #IMVID.
