Hutama Karya Irrigation Projects: Four Water Contracts in Three Provinces

Hutama Karya irrigation projects grew by four contracts in a single week. CNBC Indonesia (6 November 2026) reports that PT Hutama Karya (Persero) signed water-resources contracts between 27 October and 2 November 2026 in Bangka Belitung, West Sulawesi and East Nusa Tenggara. The bottom line: each package is modest, but they are spread out and use clear material types—stone masonry, plaster, concrete, pipes and pumps.

The four Hutama Karya irrigation contracts
The first contract was signed with the Bangka Belitung River Basin Agency (BWS) on Tuesday, 27 October 2026, for the Air Asam reservoir in Jangkang village, Dendang, East Belitung, and the Mucuk reservoir in Penutuk village, Lepar Pongok, South Bangka. Work at Air Asam covers the reservoir structure, spillway and intake. At Mucuk it covers excavation and embankment, stone masonry for the weir body, and gate structures.
According to Hutama Karya acting corporate secretary EVP Hamdani, land at both sites faces seawater intrusion, former tin-mining areas, and flood and drought risk, so the reservoirs are built to store rainwater as a freshwater reserve.
The second contract was signed with BWS Sulawesi V in Mamuju on 29 October 2026. It covers repairing 8.52 km of canal with rubble-stone masonry and plaster for 576 hectares of rice fields, including the Maroangin, Buttu Lepong, Tondok Bakaru and Lara irrigation areas. The package targets regionally managed networks under Presidential Instruction No. 2 of 2025.
The last two contracts were signed in Kupang on 2 November 2026 with BWS Nusa Tenggara II for groundwater irrigation networks (JIAT): Package I in North Central Timor and Package II in Sikka. The scope includes well drilling, pump houses, a 50 m³ reservoir, water towers, distribution boxes, pipe networks and pump installation.
Materials for Hutama Karya irrigation projects
The sources we checked do not state contract values, so we do not estimate volumes. The scope does show the material types: rubble stone, sand and cement for masonry and plaster; concrete and rebar for spillways, intakes, gates, reservoirs and water towers; and pipes and fittings for groundwater distribution. Freight cost matters on small islands and in eastern Indonesia.
What it means for regional building-material suppliers
The project owners are river basin agencies under the Ministry of Public Works' Directorate General of Water Resources, with Hutama Karya as the construction contractor. For hardware stores and distributors in Belitung, South Bangka, Mamuju, North Central Timor and Sikka, packages like these usually need a steady supply of cement, sand and pipe during the works.
