President Director of Rekind, Yanuar Budinorman asserts that the company won the award for the EPCC Project - Total Geothermal Project of Kamojang-5 1x35 MW (KMJ5).

This project, which is situated in the same location as PLTP Kamojang-4, applies the method of gantry crane installation technology and sliding method for the installation of the main equipment of heavy lift category, as it had to be installed in the power house building that had been finished as per the schedule. Meanwhile, for the stage of the Fluid Collection and Reinjection System (FCRS) steam pipe testing, the method of Initial Service Test (IST) was chosen as the alternative Hydraulic Test at the FCRS pipeline to reduce cost and time. By means of IST method, the pipe testing stage could be finished within one day, much faster than the Hydraulic Test method that might last for one month.
