Sustainable Resource with Rainwater Harvesting Ponds

Batam, 10 October 2025 – As global attention toward sustainable industrial development continues to grow, managing water resources responsibly has become an essential part of resilient infrastructure. At Tunas Prima Industrial Estate, this commitment takes shape through the installation of rainwater harvesting ponds—an eco-smart solution designed to capture, store, and utilize rainwater efficiently while reducing dependence on conventional water sources.

Rainwater harvesting ponds work on a simple yet powerful principle: collect rainfall that would otherwise flow away as surface runoff, and store it for future use. In Tunas Prima, these ponds are strategically placed near drainage and retention zones to optimize water capture from rooftops, paved surfaces, and open grounds across the estate.

Once collected, rainwater naturally settles in the ponds, where it can be used for various non-potable needs such as irrigation, industrial processes, and landscape maintenance—or gradually infiltrate into the ground to help recharge local aquifers. This approach transforms a seasonal resource into a reliable, year-round water reserve that supports both business operations and environmental balance.

Key Benefits for a Sustainable Estate

Reliable Water Supply During Dry Seasons
By capturing rainfall during high-precipitation months, these ponds provide a steady backup source of water during dry periods—reducing the risk of shortages and ensuring operational continuity for businesses within the estate.

Reducing Dependence on Conventional Water Systems
The harvested rainwater supplements existing water supply networks, easing the strain on municipal and groundwater systems. This not only supports regional water conservation but also contributes to a more sustainable and self-sufficient estate ecosystem.

Environmental and Ecological Balance
Beyond functionality, the ponds play a vital role in maintaining the natural hydrological cycle. They help control stormwater runoff, prevent soil erosion, and enhance local biodiversity—creating a greener, more resilient industrial environment.

Building a Greener Future for Industry

The rainwater harvesting initiative at Tunas Prima Industrial Estate reflects a broader vision: to integrate sustainability into every layer of infrastructure. These ponds are more than just water reservoirs—they’re part of an eco-engineered system designed to balance industrial progress with environmental stewardship. At Tunas Prima, innovation doesn’t always mean complex technology. Sometimes, the smartest solutions are those inspired by nature itself—simple, effective, and enduring.

Geocell: The Eco-Smart Ground Solution Strengthening Tunas Prima Industrial Estate

Batam, 9 October 2025 — As industrial growth accelerates, the demand for durable, sustainable, and cost-efficient infrastructure has never been greater. Industrial estates today must withstand heavy logistics activity while aligning with long-term environmental goals. At Tunas Prima Industrial Estate, one of Batam’s leading hubs for industrial excellence, innovation begins from the ground up. To build stronger, smarter foundations, we’ve adopted Geocell ground reinforcement technology—a sustainable engineering solution redefining how modern estates prepare their land.

What is Geocell?

Geocell is a three-dimensional cellular confinement system made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE). Structurally, it looks like a honeycomb. When expanded and filled with soil, gravel, or other aggregates, it creates a stable, load-distributing layer that strengthens weak ground and prevents erosion or surface failure.

Originally developed for military and civil engineering purposes, Geocell has become a trusted solution in infrastructure projects worldwide. It’s fast to install, cost-efficient, and remarkably effective for challenging soil conditions—making it ideal for large-scale industrial developments like Tunas Prima.

Why Geocell Matters for Industrial Estates

Industrial estates face continuous stress from heavy vehicles, logistics traffic, and large-scale construction. Traditional reinforcement methods, such as deep concrete foundations, can be expensive, time-consuming, and environmentally taxing.

Geocell offers a smarter, greener alternative—providing strength, flexibility, and sustainability in one solution.

At Tunas Prima, Geocell is used to reinforce:

• Heavy-duty logistics roads – designed to handle container trucks and cargo operations.

• Warehousing platforms – ensuring surface stability and minimizing ground settlement.

• Drainage systems and slopes – protecting against erosion while maintaining proper water flow.

• Natural landscapes and water retention zones – stabilizing terrain without disrupting the ecosystem.

The Key Benefits of Geocell at Tunas Prima

Eco-Friendly Design
Geocell reduces reliance on concrete and asphalt, minimizing excavation and carbon emissions. Its permeable structure allows natural rainwater absorption and groundwater recharge—especially vital around our rain harvesting ponds, where reinforced terrain supports sustainability without altering natural flow patterns.

Cost Efficiency
By using locally available fill materials and requiring less excavation, Geocell significantly lowers material and labor costs. Faster installation also helps our industrial tenants meet project timelines more efficiently.

Engineered for Heavy Loads
Designed to spread pressure evenly, Geocell prevents rutting and deformation—even under the weight of container trucks and industrial machinery operating daily across the estate.

Durability and Low Maintenance
Geocell delivers long-lasting surface stability, reducing maintenance needs and extending the lifespan of internal roads, platforms, and slopes. This durability translates into long-term cost savings for both estate management and tenants.

Integrating Geocell into the Tunas Prima Master Plan

As part of Tunas Prima’s continuous development strategy, Geocell technology is being integrated across multiple infrastructure zones, including:

• Rainwater retention areas, where it strengthens the ground while enhancing natural water absorption.

• Road networks and platform bases, providing a resilient foundation for future expansions.

This initiative reflects our commitment to building resilient, sustainable, and future-ready infrastructure—one that supports industries today and protects the environment for tomorrow.

Building the Future, from the Ground Up

At Tunas Prima Industrial Estate, innovation means more than adopting new technologies—it means making responsible choices that create lasting value. The use of Geocell embodies our vision for sustainable industrial growth, ensuring every square meter of land is optimized for performance, durability, and ecological harmony.

As Batam continues to strengthen its position as one of Indonesia’s most strategic industrial centers, Tunas Prima is proud to lead the way—laying a smarter, stronger, and greener foundation for the future.

Batam, 16 August 2025 – Since the early post-independence years, through political upheavals, economic crises, and global shocks, Indonesia’s industrial sector has evolved into a key driver of national growth. This transformation stems from strategic investments, structural reforms, and the realization that a strong industry is the foundation of resilience.

A Journey Toward Industrialization

Indonesia’s industrial journey began modestly. In the early 1960s, manufacturing contributed less than 10% of GDP, with the government focusing mainly on rebuilding colonial-era infrastructure.

During the New Order era, policies shifted decisively toward industrialization and export orientation. By 1997, manufacturing contributed 25% of GDP, with more than half of exports coming from manufactured goods—fueled by deregulation, infrastructure development, and capital accumulation.

The oil crisis of the 1980s pushed further reforms, driving the growth of labor-intensive industries such as textiles, footwear, and electronics. By the late 20th century, Indonesia had become a competitive global production hub.

The post-1998 reform era brought new challenges and opportunities—economic liberalization, technology adoption, and global market diversification—compelling industries to adapt and compete internationally.

Industry as a Modern Economic Pillar

Today, manufacturing remains a vital pillar of Indonesia’s economy. In 2024, the sector contributed 18.5% of GDP and employed around 18 million workers (14% of the labor force). Other estimates put the figure above 21 million, making it the third-largest employer after agriculture and automotive services.

Key subsectors include food and beverages (32% of manufacturing GDP), basic metals (9%), textiles (7%), and automotive components (6%). Food and beverages, in particular, continue to grow steadily despite global economic volatility.

The Numbers Behind the Progress

In 2024, manufacturing’s contribution to GDP reached 18.98%—higher than the global average of 15.3% and surpassing countries such as India, Italy, Brazil, and Germany.

The sector also attracted IDR 721.3 trillion in investment, accounting for 42.1% of total national investment. The Manufacturing PMI has consistently stayed above 51.0 since 2024, signaling continued expansion.

Despite headwinds—such as a 6.95% year-on-year decline in FDI in Q2 2025—total investment still created over 665,000 new jobs. Indonesia’s economy grew by 5.1% in Q2 2025, showing resilience amid slowing household consumption and middle-class pressures.

Batam: A Regional Industrial Success Story

Batam exemplifies how regional industrial hubs can accelerate national growth. Strategically located near Singapore, Batam has developed into a base for electronics, shipbuilding, and medium-to-high technology manufacturing.

In 2025, BP Batam set an investment target of IDR 60 trillion. By mid-year, realized investment reached IDR 33.72 trillion, or 56.2% of the target—an increase of nearly 65% compared to the same period in 2024. This momentum aligns with Indonesia’s industrialization agenda and demonstrates the power of regional hubs to drive national progress.

Downstreaming as an Economic Strategy

A cornerstone of Indonesia’s industrial policy is downstream processing. Nowhere is this clearer than in nickel: exports of processed nickel products surged from USD 1.4 billion in 2014 to nearly USD 61 billion in 2024, making Indonesia the world’s leading player.

Policies such as the 2020 Mineral and Coal Law and domestic processing requirements have spurred the development of integrated industrial zones in Morowali and Weda Bay, creating jobs and regional growth.

These efforts align with the Making Indonesia 4.0 roadmap and the Digital Industry Center (PIDI 4.0), aimed at technology adoption, workforce upskilling, and SME competitiveness in global markets.

Looking Ahead

Strengthening Indonesia’s industrial base is not just an economic agenda—it is a long-term national strategy.

In Batam, strategic industrial zones play a vital role. Among them, Tunas Prima Industrial Estate stands out as a catalyst for growth, offering world-class infrastructure, a strategic location near global trade routes, and facilities designed for efficient production and distribution.

With these advantages, Tunas Prima is not only an industrial hub but also a trusted business expansion partner for investors seeking growth opportunities in Indonesia. Through the synergy of competitive industrial zones and pro-industry policies, Indonesia is poised to secure its place as a resilient economic power on the global stage.
